>A few unlucky sailors get lost in his city, finally waking the beast up
>Now for the horror to...

for me the story peaked when the police raided freaks in that forest. it's a big problem with most of his works, they go out with a whimper

The Randolp Carter arch is very underrated.

that the guy that wrote game of thrones? hes aight i guess

No, he wrote 50 Shades of Grey. It's literally in his name; the art of making love.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. Best book of this genius.

Weak bait.

>deeply philosophical

wow, you're fucking pretentious

But how am I wrong?

Is that really the way you think about things? Concern over whether or not your subjective opinion is somehow objectively right or wrong? I called you pretentious because you're acting like the things you like are of some intrinsic value while at the same time shitting on other people that like it as though they just don't get it. It's silly. When you get older you're going to bump into people doing the same shit with whatever literature they like and you'll understand.

So you don't think it's not even a bit ironic that The Call of Cthulhu, his most famous story, literally begins with him writing that people are too limited to see the forest from the trees and he's remembered for tentacle monsters? And pointing that out is somehow pretentious and silly?

Maybe if that weren't such a popular aphorism. What context was he saying it in?

So folks, what's your favorite Lovecraft tale?
I'm putting my bets on 'The Lurking Fear'.

Lovecraft wrote like a scared child.

Everything he didn't know was scary to him, which is why the bad guys are always foreigners or in one case an albino.

Lovecraft was a proto-neckbeard who practically never saw anything other than his mother for the first half of his life. He hates niggers as much as your dog hates kangaroos, considering it hasn't seen any.

It is one of, if not the central theme in the whole Cthulhu Mythos.

>The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

He was influenced by Oswald Spengler.

its worse than that. All the retards can think of about lovecraft are octopuses. That's it. None of the other monsters because none of the "fans" ever actually read lovecraft jesus fuck

Didn't even think of this and now I'm sad.
