/lit/ - Literature

I had heard about live craft influencing creatures that are old ones, things beyond humans understanding. Things that had been on earth long before humans. But it’s all just aliens? Was lovecraft very much influenced by the Masonic lies at the time about space and so he thought the existence of aliens was very terrifying?

Did he have any stories about things that weren’t aliens?

Did this in my own thread before, but I’ll repost it here. Here’s all the works Lovecraft mentions in ‘Supernatural Horror in Literature’

Introduction:
>Sigmund Freud
>Charles Dickens
>Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning
>The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
>Elsie Venner by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
>The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford
>The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
>The Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs

I got bored. Here is a list of literary works and authors that H.P. Lovecraft mentions in his essay “Supernatural Horror in Literature”

Introduction:
>Sigmund Freud
>Charles Dickens
>Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came by Robert Browning
>The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
>Elsie Venner by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
>The Upper Berth by F. Marion Crawford
>The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
>The Monkey’s Paw by W. W. Jacobs

Never read him before. Not sure where to start. He seems to have a lot and I am not intending to read all of them. Maybe a top 3 of his best books would be a good list from me to choose from.
