...You don't actually read the explanations of how this ruling works, do you?

Lovecraft and Smith are both American authors, kid. They lived in the United States. If you are in the US, then the Berne Convention doesn't say anything about their work, which is controlled under the US copyright regime.

The Supreme Court's new ruling does not affect them at all.

Sorry.
Life sucks and is probably meaningless, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to be good.
