most people were racist back then
he's the father of the "horror" genre
before he was published, he locked himself away in a one room apartment. he lost like 60 pounds
he submitted 6 stories
the editor said he would buy them all if hp typed them out
hp refused so the editor only bought 2

Fun fact: He grew out of being a racist. He was embarrassed of his chudness and ashamed of how much time he wasted as a closed-minded 30 year old whilst other adults were busy living regular non-stunted lives.

Thanks for letting me know he was a pussy that had no strength in his convictions.

Yeah, but he was way more racist than most people. He was also antisemitic, but married a "well assimilated" jewess just like every /pol/ack would do given the chance.

His only social life was corresponding with other writers. When he kissed his wife for the first time he blushed and said it was the first time he had done that since highschool.
You're right about the lasting influence and legacy though, although it wasn't recognized until shortly before his death. I'd like to think 4chan could produce as many great writers as the pulp magazines did, but we'll probably just be remembered for trolling.

Everyone attributes horror to this retard even he has nothing to do with it.
They're just parroting shit to appear high culture like rich retards do about Shakespeare.
Everyone says the bug monsters in sekiro and elden ring are inspired by this faggot but they are Not. Japan has its own bug horror based on the huge insects that roam their countryside. Japanese people hate centipedes so they're displayed as evil in all their stories.
Did lovecraft even know what a centipede was?

Lovecraft was always low culture. Only people who talk about him are needs that go also play gay wh40k shit. The best movies based on his work are coomer b films. Please gain self awarenesses a d then end yourself my man.

The high culture part comes from Deleuze, Houllebecq, Ligotti and Land all getting hung up on his concept of the Outside
