Lovecraft is one of few who could be deemed highly sublime in the horror genre.

>> No.8185293

>>8184083

hounds of tindalos was written not by lovecraft though, it was written by frank long

also it's easily better than any horror story by lovecraft himself

p.s. curves are harder to study than angles

Lmao he doesn't chill. But I heard somewhere that his racism increased a lot when he had one of his depressive phases, so I assume he had the major blues early 1925.

All I've read from him are "Rats in the Walls," where a man goes mad because he found his ancestry, which is all he has left, is that of cannibalism and cruelty, "The Color Out Of Space," where no one goes mad, "The Call of Cthulhu," where only sensitive non-narrator persons go mad explicitly due to Cthulhu being psychic, and "At the Mountains of Madness," where, again, no one goes mad.

Forgot about that tertiary-ass character.
Does anyone remember what exactly he goes mad from? At least it wasn't indescribable, the only one who saw the indescribable thing was the narrator who I'm pretty sure stays put-together.

basically a god-tier type being hiding in the mountains that only he sees as they're flying over. I think it's hinted at here and there (and expanded on in "lovecraft canon" fanfic)
