Just skim the Necronomicon

Cats of Ulthar is a good start for something you can speed through in 20 minutes or so. Encapsulates his prose pretty well.

[Anonymous No.10309281]

1. The Colour Out of Space
2. The Rats in the Walls
3. The Horror at Red Hook (a bit less known but personal favourite)
4. The Temple

>>10309281
Isn't The Rats in the Walls the one with niggerman the cat?

[Anonymous No.10309317]

>>10309302
Yes, it is. Also "The Horror at Red Hook" is considered his most racist story ever written, so if you have leftist beliefs you may want to skip that one, even though it's a personal favourite for me because I can relate to it as a person who's living in a terrible ghetto full of gypsies. "The Rats in the Walls" has nothing racist in it (if that's a concern of yours) except the Niggerman cat and is one of the first Lovecraft works I have read.

[Anonymous No.10309343]

My favourite stories are The Shadow over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow Out of Time.

[Anonymous No.10309587]

The Horror at Red Hook is not in any way Racist. Kurds are white.

[Anonymous No.10309628]

>>10309006
The Shadow over Innsmouth is probably my favorite of his stories. The Colour Out of Space is another great one, especially given the more amorphous nature of the monster. The Whisperer in Darkness also comes to mind as a memorable one. At the Mountains of Madness is great if you are looking for something a bit longer.

I'm still mad those guys removed the lovecraft bust award because of its 'problematic' connotations, some people are just ridiculous.

Charles Dexter Ward is my favourite

[Anonymous No.10309758]

The Horror in the Museum is a very good one that is not very well known because it was ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft for someone else. But i highly recommend it, as a short to medium lenght story.

[Anonymous No.10309772]

At the Mountains of Madness is my favorite, has some suspense that his shorter stores often lack

There's also one where some explorer discovers a huge underground city of crocodile-people, and I can't remember the name of it, does anyone know what it is? I remember it was very spooky and want to reread it.

Not "the most racist story ever written." It's basically him hating New York and saying the Yezidis are devil worshippers. Nothing new, just with beautiful descriptions of scenery

It can not possibly be more racist then the turner diaries, or can it?

Don't fall for the Cthulhu mythos meme, many of those are his most dull and overly long stories

[Anonymous No.10310752]

>>10309006
Lovecraft is overexposed. Within a year or two the meme will die, and any time you've devoted to this brainlet will have been wasted.

[Anonymous No.10311486]

Read his dream cycle for something different: the White Ship, Celephais, Cat of Ulthar, the Outer Gods, Oblivion, and the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath (this one is quite lengthy so you might want to read it last)

[Anonymous No.10311723]

So you retroactively decide things you've read weren't enjoyable because they cease to be in the spotlight on a japanese cartoon fansite?

Good post

[Anonymous No.10312111]

The "meme" hasn't died for several decades now, why would it die within a year or two?

Naming a cat Niggerman is enough for leftists to want to hunt down every copy ever printed and burn it. You don't understand how insane these people are.

[Anonymous No.10312123]

Some leftists, not all. Actually only a tiny minority of leftists would literally want to destroy the work. Let's not exaggerate.

[Anonymous No.10313181]

I'm going through the Necronomicon. So far I particularly liked:
Cats of Ulthar
Dagon
The Music of Erich Zann
The end of Herbert West - Reanimator is also pretty cool, even if the stories are pretty predictable up to that point.

[Anonymous No.10313195]

The Haunter of the Dark is my favourite by far. Nobody else seems to remember it though.

What I said is objectively true. You being a retard doesn't make it untrue. I'm not even a leftist, it's just that unlike you I'm capable of looking somewhat objectively at reality.

[Anonymous No.10313488]

What are your thoughts on the new manga adaption of three of his stories?

[Anonymous No.10313630]

Tried to read something from his followers and it was absolutely shit. Can someone recomend me something Lovecraft-styled? That isnt cringe and wannabe

>1. The Colour Out of Space


this.

"Then without warning the hideous thing shot vertically up toward the sky like a rocket or meteor, leaving behind no trail and disappearingthrough a round and curiously regular hole in the clouds before any man could gasp or cry out. No watcher can ever forget that sight, and Ammi stared blankly at the stars of Cygnus, Deneb twinkling above the others, where the unknown colour had melted into the Milky Way. But his gaze was the next moment called swiftly to earth by the crackling in the valley. It was just that. Only a wooden ripping and crackling, and not an explosion, as so many others of the party vowed. Yet the outcome was the same, for in one feverish, kaleidoscopic instant there burst up from that doomed and accursed farm a gleamingly eruptive cataclysm of unnatural sparks and substance; blurring the glance of the few who saw it, and sending forth to the zenith a bombarding cloudburst ofsuch coloured and fantastic fragments as our universe must needs disown."

fuck yes.

14 by Peter Clines is an enjoyable take on Lovecraftian themes.

[Anonymous No.10315378]

>>10315324
he was neither. his opinions were perfectly normal for the time he lived in.

[Anonymous No.10315398]

>>10313630
And 'Notebook Found in a Deserted House' by Robert Bloch is a good meat and potatoes horror story along "old school" Lovecraft lines (whereas the Clines book might be called neo-Lovecraft).

Someone posted a scan of the Weird Tales mag in which the Bloch originally appeared:
