What's your favorite of HP Lovecraft's writings?

Here's mine:

When, long ago, the gods created Earth,
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind,
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceived a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a NIGGER.

I just read part of call of the cthulhu and stopped . It was to silly.
Ok that I had high expectations, but the amount dumb things on it, like the cop fainting to see the ritual, and the intertextuality with nietzsche made me a bit lazy.

But I liked your "poem". Good to see this kind of discussion when ppl were alowed to say it

I used to read H.P. Lovecraft's book and novels a lot like 3 yrs or so ago. My favourites were/are The call of cthulhu, Dunwich horror, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, The Colour Out of Space, At the Mountains of Madness, The Shadow Out of Time and also the one who talks about those pilgrims in the american deserts which start to die at night ( for fuck sake I can't remember the damn title!)

If I could bring any one person back from the dead it would be Lovecraft

The Music of Erich Zahn and the Whisper in Darkness were the only two to actually scare the fuck out of me.

I wonder what he'd think of being one of the most influential figures in modern horror literature. Or that his pessimistic worldview is still relevant even if science hasn't brought us into the consummate disaster he feared it would.
