H.P. Lovecraft

I'd like see the response of Lovecraft fans.
Anything at all you want to mention about the creator of modern horror, feel free.

Fav. Lovecraft stories and so-on


H.P. Lovecraft deserves in every way to be referred to as a genius.

Or purhaps a God even. A true master at creating Visual / Visceral horror .

This is a tribute to The Man.

My fav. Lovecraft works:
The Crawling Chaos
At the Mountains of Madness
The Call of Cthulu
The Shadow Over Innsmouth

As a matter-a-fact Clive Barker seems to draw a lot his insperations from Lovecraft storytelling.
