Is Lovecraft a good read?

[Anonymous No.20354665]

Yes, there's nothing quite like his world.

[Anonymous No.20354673]

His letters are extremely tedious but also occasionally interesting

[Anonymous No.20354675]

yes

a serial killer can just be shot
you can stab the creepy stabby clown first
ghosts and magics dont real, or, fake problems have fake solutions, if the ghost is chasing you you can just have a ghost repelling ring or.. genetics or whatever

but what if some cosmic quasar wipes out half of our galaxy? now THAT is some real spooky shit because you cant really do anything to space, its so vast and infinite and it cares as much about you as you care about that one ant in a massive ant colony in sri lanka
finally
there is the racism
if you are a racist individual such as myself, you will find miscegenation deeply disgusting and horror inducing, and this cosmic alien demonic miscegenation is common theme in lovecraft

think of the 300.000 years of alpine ice age climate developing empirically, measurable larger prefrontal cortex in non-tropical humans because their alpine ice age climate elevated evolutionary pressure through requirement of superior tools, shelters, clothing, planning and cooperation to take down mammoth, parental investment of 2 or more decades
imagine this truly precious feat thrown down the drain through miscegenation
that is some deeply spooky shit

Yes.

Also, Vol. IV finally arrived here in Europoor. One day I will find a cheapish Vol. II.
