no. go back to your pixel toys, books are for grown ups

Eat shit.

Anyways, OP, check out "Shatterday" by Ellison. It's a great collection of his. Roadside Picnic is good too, if you like STALKER. If you enjoy Lovecraft, you also may like Clark Ashton Smith or Ray Bradbury. Shirley Jackson is more gothic, I think, but she has some pretty spooky short stories. MR Janes was a pioneer in the ghost story. Not sure if this helps though, if you're looking for speculative fiction like Ellisons.

Not him but pixel shit is awful and typically contains no information of importance.

>I'm looking for short stories inspired by HP Lovecraft

What? Why not just read short stories written by HP Lovecraft?

Thank you

How about you lurk a little, pixel playing fucboi.

Drakengard is the true example of postmodernist storytelling.

/lit/ is filled with horribly pretentious people, but they really aren't all that different from the jaded outcasts of /v/. It's entirely possible to enjoy reading/studying Joyce, Dostoevsky, Faulkner and McCarthy while not being too much of a stuck up snob to have hobbies. A lot of the people here, such as

>>6964533
>>6964478
>>6964436

Feel they need to ridicule other people and what they like in order to feel good about themselves. They're not very self aware, is what I'm saying.


Also, I forgot to add, there are varying degrees of Lovecraft. There are the Cthulhu mythos (Shadow over Innsmouth, Dagon), then there are Lovecraft's more "weird" tales (The Thing on the Doorstep) and finally his gothic stories (Rats in the Walls, the Outsider). They're pretty different from each other, but I still recommend you try them all.

Yeah, we all see you're a white knight redditor who loves his children's toys but can you take it somewhere else while the grown ups discuss literature? Thanks

Hey, it isn't my fault you can't spell.

Also /v/ is reddit meets homeless, don't pretend otherwise. I'd take this board over that underage cesspool any day.

I actually am sorry that your love for "horror point-and-click adventures" didn't garner many replies. Maybe try the fucking

Sad but true.

Shitting on people you consider inferior is a lazy and poor personal substitute for impressing or inspiring those you consider equals.

>>6964863
This. Almost everyone in this thread is a fucking retard.

You, too, are fucking retarded. Your favorite "literature": Stoner, Taipei, The Wind Up Bird Chronicles.

>>6966540
I'd be mad if you didn't just hit that spot fucking on goddamn. Those are also the only books I've ever read. Where to go next? I also like point-and-click action adventures if that helps

Teatro Grotesco by Thomas Ligotti. Some of the stories read sort of like adventure games.

This is part of the reason why he sucks

That's not even close to what that statement meant.
