I find it weird how reddit changed its name to 4channel

>he wants someone who got renowned for writing horror to be socially and mentally well adjusted
Disliking niggers is the least, he was fucked up trough and trough. And that's what makes him so good at horror.
Another fucked up writer was Philip K Dick. There are things people on the right side of the tracks are just unable to understand.

It's impossible to convey the kind of existensial dread he was going for in a movie, for many reasons. Him being a racist and outplayed in pop culture (which I assume people mean by overrated) has nothing to do with it. However, he was doubtlessly overtly racist.
Josiah Walker
Very much adaptable. I should say that he's more famous in the west than in other places, and most likely West finds him too PROBLEMATIC for direct adaptations. That being said, his influence is all over the place.
Jaxson Edwards
Yeah, I call bullshit on the idea that the western world considers him too problematic to adapt. There's tons of Lovecraft video games. All from western developers.

>"It is worth pausing to ponder the sources for Lovecraft's attraction to Sonia. It seems facile to say that he was looking for a mother replacement; and yet, the emergence of Sonia into his life a mere six weeks after his mother's death is certainly a coincidence worth noting.
>"His continued enthusiasm the next day was so genuine and sincere that in appreciation I surprised and shocked him right then and there by kissing him. He was so flustered that he blushed, then he turned pale. When I chaffed him about it he said he had not been kissed since he was a very small child and that he was never kissed by any woman [...] and that he would probably never be kissed again. (But I fooled him)."
>"We learn [...] that: first, he was a virgin at the time he married; second, prior to his marriage he had read several books on sex; and third, he never initiated sexual relations, but would respond when Sonia did so. [...] Sonia herself has only two comments on the matter. 'As a married man he was an adequately excellent lover, but refused to show his feelings in the presence of others. [...] One way of expression of H.P.'s sentiment was to wrap his "pinkey" finger around mine and say "Umph!""
>"Sonia seems to have understood Lovecraft very well, his frigidity, his inhibition, his denial and his disgust for life. As for him, who considered himself an old man at thirty, one is still surprised that he could envisage union with this dynamic, vivacious creature. A divorced jewess, what’s more; which, for a conservative anti semite like him would seem to constitute an insurmountable obstacle. [...] But it is perhaps the most unlikely explanation that seems the best: Lovecraft really seems to have, in a certain manner, loved Sonia, as Sonia loved him."
Charles Anderson
tons of direct adaptations of his work? Hardly so. As i've said, his influence is all over the place, but you can count direct Lovecraft adaptations with fingers on one of your hands.
