What are your thoughts on H.P. Lovecraft?

after years of reading only literary fiction I have decided to read garbage
where to start with?

What is /lit/ opinion on him?

What's his cat named again?

>reads math book
>has a nervous breakdown
lol fag

>Bruh, non-Euclidean geometry

Is there a required reading order for Lovecraft, where I won't understand what he's talking about unless I've read some earlier thing he wrote, or can I just jump around to whatever interests me? I particularly want to read about Nyarlathotep.

What's your favorite of his stories?

Lovecraft:
>Wrote deeply philosophical literature about fate, religion, fall of civilizations and more

Lovecraft fans:
>MONSTERS LMAO

>Peace is the ideal of a dying nation; a broken race. Isaacson belongs to a stock wholly broken & emasculated by two thousand years of cringing at the feet of Aryan masters. But I, thank the Gods, am an Aryan, & can rejoice in the glorious victory of T. Flavius Vespasianus, under whose legions the Jewish race & their capital were trodden out of national existence! I am an anti-Semitic by nature, but thought I had concealed my prejudice in my remarks concerning Isaacson. I showed him every consideration in my article, carefully saying that I attacked not the man, but the ideas. However, if Jerusalem wishes to start trouble, he will find in me a new Titus, eager to inscribe on my eagles the triumphant legend IVDAEA CAPTA! I might here remark that my anti-Semitism is not entirely due to blind prejudice. The Jews are fundamentally Orientals, whilst the rising civilization of the world is Western—Teutonic—Anglo-Saxon. The struggle between the East & the West dates back to Marathon & Salamis, & it is the West which has ever represented progress & superior culture. The Jew is an adverse influence, since he insidiously degrades or Orientalizes our robust Aryan civilization. The intellect of the race is indisputably great, but its nature is not such that it may be safely employed in forming Western political & social ideas. Oppressive as it seems, the Jew must be muzzled.

Can someone recommend me some good Lovecraftian horror authors books?

Was HP Lovecraft the first literary shitposter? I mean seriously, Niggerman the cat, Shub-Niggurath, and On The Creation of Niggers. There's no way this madman wasn't shitposting.

What's his name?

>It's interesting — perhaps even humorous — to note that "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" was not inspired by fears of miscegenation, but by Lovecraft's own discovery that his great-grandmother was Welsh.

I suppose I could be a Rhodesian and be like this guy >>10028626

But you know what? Nah

>Nothing must disturb my undiluted Englishry — God Save The King! I am naturally a Nordic — a chalk-white, bulky Teuton of the Scandinavian or North-German forests — a Viking a berserk killer — a predatory rover of Hengist and Horsa — a conqueror of Celts and mongrels and founders of Empires — a son of the thunders and the arctic winds, and brother to the frosts and the auroras — a drinker of foemen's blood from new picked skulls — a friend of the mountain buzzards and feeder of seacoast vultures — a blond beast of eternal snows and frozen oceans — a prayer to Odin and Thor and Woden and Alfadur, the raucous shouter of Niffelheim — a comrade of the wolves, and rider of nightmares — aye — I speak truly — for was I not born with yellow hair and blue eyes.

/pol/ shitposters wish they could outdo this.
