A REAL LOVECRAFTIAN HERO
NIGGERMAN IS THERE

>I remember that H.P.L. ordered half a cantaloupe filled with vanilla ice cream, and a cup of coffee. He was in great spirits and bubbled over with good humor, talking a blue streak about everything under the sun. Harry Houdini gazed at him admiringly. I am sure he liked H.P.L. as much as almost everybody did who had a chance to study and know him.

These lovely cats remind me of my own

>The Reader: Containing the Art of Delivery, Articulation, Accent, Pronunciation, [etc.]. (1802)

Lovecraft notes that he read this volume around 1897 "for my guidance in correct composition.... This was so utterly and absolutely the thing I had been looking for, that I attacked it with almost savage violence."

Not OP but a Lovecraft fag
He was actually not that bad at humour as someone would have expected him to be

Lovecraft really loved writing. You might even say he 'loved his craft.'

Where did the comfy Lovecraft thread go just now? I didn't post it, but did mods confuse it for a non-/lit/ comfy thread? It was an audiobook (which is /lit/).

Reposting my reply to that anon:
That's not a bad reader, wow. That's rare for Lovecraft, for some reason he gets tons of shitty librivox readers. I find HorrorBabble pretty consistent too:

This is my favorite reader of Lovecraft:

Also good idea putting ambiance in the background. I'm going to try that. Here's the previous OP's links:

This has been proven time and time again, and still studios keep attempting to do the impossible.

>I-its not like I was trying or anything! It was low effort, l-lol...

Every weird tale he wrote + his Supernatural Horror in Literature essay (warning: it's full of spoilers. He summarizes the plots of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, Melmoth the Wanderer, The Great God Pan, and other horror classics) + his comedic tales (he wrote 4 of them). Go in chronological order. If you don't want to go in chronological order, then start off with The Call of Cthulhu, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Rats in the Walls.

On beans
>“Incidentally—not many doors away, on the other side of Willoughby St., I found a restaurant which specialises in home-baked beans. It was closed on Sunday, but I shall try it some time soon. Beans, fifteen cents, with pork, twenty cents. With Frankfort sausages, twenty-five cents. Yes—here is a place which will repay investigation!” (to Mrs. F.C. Clark, 20 May 1925)

On cheese
>“How can anybody dislike cheese? And yet Little Belknap hates it as badly as you do! I don’t suppose you would like spaghetti if you don’t like cheese, for the two rather go together.” (to J. Vernon Shea, 30 October 1931)

On meats
>“Of meats, I fancy I rather prefer beef for all-around consumption, but like most others pretty well. Fond of sausage—especially the old fashioned baked or fried sort. Like fowl—but white meat only. Can’t bear dark meat. My really favourite meal is the regular old New England turkey dinner, with highly seasoned dressing, cranberry sauce, onions, etc., and mince pie for dessert.” (to Robert E. Howard, 7 November 1932)
