This topic is dedicated to one of the most brilliant minds ever in horror literature, Howard Phillip Lovecrat (R.I.P.), most known for the mythos he created, The Cthulhu Mythos,


what are your favourite works by him?
i enjoyed all of his works till now, but especially The Call Of Cthulhu..

I've just finished reading "At the Mountains of Madness" - what a brilliantly written tale of suspense and cosmic horror! I love Lovecraft's writing style - he really knows how to build up the tension to the breaking point and still manage to have satisfyingly creepy endings. I can't wait to dive further into his universe

After a long Lovecraft-less pause, I've started reading his stories again. "The Outsider" was a great short story with a crazy twist at the end, which I admittedly foresaw a few paragraphs before the reveal, but was still very satisfying

I'm tempted to buy the complete collection of his stories in a single hardback book (here). His stuff is just so damn good

I've got this version on kindle! Reading The Shadow Over Innsmouth atm, hoping to read The Dunwich Horror after. Using this as a guide: https://consequence.net/2020/10/ranking-h-p-lovecraft/8/

There are so many collections out there, it seems. Its hard to pick one. Are you happy with that version? How many stories have you read in it?

Just TSOI so far but it seems pretty good! Some odd spelling, but I just put that down the language at the time it was written (e.g. 'shew' instead of 'show'). Still very readable.

Ah yeah I think that isn't a mistake. Like you said, it's how they used to spell it. Alright. Thanks for the recommendation.

I've just read "The Horror In The Museum" - fantastically scary read! It doesn't seem to be featured in that collection book, but you can read it here where I read it:
