>>17350103
The Colour out of Space
At The Mountains of Madness
The Rats in the Walls
The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath
The Quest of Iranon

I have a huge fondness for the Quest of Iranon that not many people share, but I really think it's one of Lovecraft's most self-confessing and vulnerable stories. It's almost a self-directed psychic attack, a vicious indictment of all he holds dear.

This sounds like the same vibe I got from listening to a Call of Cthulhu audio book while driving through the bumfuck Nebraska panhandle in the middle of the night and seeing a meteor come down right in front of me right when it talks about the Great Old Ones arriving from the stars

I like the one where the man finds a creepy place and then goes into shock after seeing something truly horrifying.

>> No.17355578

I quite liked The Shadow Out of Time desu
