Lovecraft

My, oh, my.

I just realized that this forum is devoid of any thread relating to the true master of early horror writing: H.P. Lovecraft.

Feel free to discuss the man and his works here. Do you love his stories? Do they freak the shit outta you? Or, do you find him too long-winded and wordy?

My favorite HPL stories:
"The Case of Charles Dexter Ward"
"The Call of Cthulhu"
"The Dunwich Horror"
"The Music of Erich Zann"

and my favorite would probably be

"The Shadow Out of Time"

I never really got into his "dream cycle" pieces, such as "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" and "The Silver Key". Even being as well read as I am, I cannot get through more than 30 pages of "Kadath" without getting lost as to what's happening, or becoming bored.

My bad. I see that I have the "Last 30 Days" option enabled, therefore limiting my viewing.

I have more thread reading to do than I thought....!

Edit: feel free to delete my newbish mistake.
