h p lovecraft

does anyone know where I could find an original copy of his diary? every where I've looked so far only showed me books he's written or books about him written by someone else.

IF you are the kind of lovecraft fan who enjoys finding lovecraftian creatures and atmospheres and themes in movies and tv shows, you'll want to check out this new 4th season on HBO's True Detective. the last episode (3d) for sure took a lurch in that direction.

And what would he think of the current story incarnations of Cosmic Horror ? Thoughts ? :)

Given the kind of Storie that written .What would he have thought ofThe X Files and would have have liked that show and others like it ?And what do you think he would have made of Roswell and all whole UFO culture? Thoughts ? :)

Last month, there was been talk of Hollywood making a grand cinematic universe based of off Lovecraft's stories, there have been many film adaptations of Lovecraft's stories but most of them are relatively small in production, with the original Reanimator trilogy and a handful being larger. Most...

I still remember when I got the Little Brown HP Lovecraft Omnibuses for Christmas, and the pleasure I had reading through them after. Mind, the story quality was variable across each volume, but when the stories were good they were brilliant. The Color out of Space was a clear favorite for its...

Yes , we can talk about Lovecraft and his stories her and also, other the writers who've written stories and novel in that vein . Which are you favorites and why ? :)

I listened to a 1950s Suspense OTR broadcast--and was surprised to hear Ronald Coleman talking about Yog Suggoth and the Necronomicon. Some of the sound effects are creepy. I didn't realize Lovecraft had already had some mainstream media attention. Suspense was a big show at the time and it's...

I read At The Mountains Of Madness for the first time last month, and jotted down some thoughts on it and wider Lovecraftian themes in my blog: Long Read: Gott ist tot, but Yog-Sothoth Lives! The perfect historical oddity of H.P Lovecraft

I remember years ago reading something which I thought was HPL but may have been Derleth or Long. I'm pretty sure it was set in Wisconsin in an isolated house in a forest and one of the features I remember that really grabbed me was the trees swaying in the wind except that after a while, the...

H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Tomb” was one of his earlier works, written in June 1917 and then published in March 1922. Since it was written four years before “The Call of Cthulhu”, arguably his most famous work, it’s interesting to analyze it. I discovered this story via “The H.P. Lovecraft...

I seem to be on a roll with Howard today, so here is my question.. Lovecraft is considered the father of the Mythos and rightly so but is he the best?. Do you prefer his work to say Clark Ashton Smith for example, Or even Charles Stross`s Laundry files?.. That includes Comics and graphic novels...

Weirdly I usually choose The Quest of Iranon, the reason I suspect is I enjoy the uplift in the begining as it has almost a hippy feel, to the crushing ending as reality crashes in and drowns him.

As a fan of the man and a writer of Mythos novels I can never find many more modern interpretations of the Mythos, they all hark to the original style and theme even Ramsey Campbell and the second crop of writers. I have been writing and publishing modern variants of the theme with Outlaw...

I just finished reading "Pebble in the Sky" by Isaac Asimov, while at the same time I began listening to "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft, read by the Cthulu and Friends Podcast. What a contrast in writing styles. I've read multiple people on the Chrons state their affection for...

Really, Lovecraft's stories have more in common with The Wind in the Willows than they are given credit for. By and large, Lovecraft's world is free of adult concerns. The protagonists do not have to work for a living. To the extent that money is even thought of, it's just there as needed...

Does anyone know if this is the previously discussed variorum of the revisions?

I was initially going to make it about Lovecraft only . But I thought , why not all three? Since the three of them were tied to gather by a distant/close friendship of correspondence . What writers and their, books and stories , poems , influenced them, made them who they are ? And how...

"...I unhesitatingly declare H. P. Lovecraft not merely a good writer but a great writer--great in his management of prose, great in his imaginative scope, great in the philosophical and aesthetic underpinnings of his fiction, and great in the effective construction of a tale that allows it to...
