h p lovecraft

There are more then a few writer who delved into Lovecrafts universe of horror. Who are yor favorites ?

I don't suppose G. K. Chesterton had ever heard of Machen or (certainly) Lovecraft, but this passage from one of his books suggests to me a difference between the two writers, with Machen being the visionary and Lovecraft the (in Chesterton's words) "false contemplative." Thoughts? “That...

Has anyone been reading Alan Moore's Neonomicon comic book, a four-part mini-series published by Avatar Press and based on Lovecraft's universe? It's been an interesting read so far, involving R'Lyeh, aquatic monsters and cops investigating a weird sex cult. But it's not for the faint...

What are your top five favorite Lovecraft stories. For me it would have to be: Lurking Fear At the Mountains of Madness Call of Cthulhu Shadow out of Innsmouth Dreams In the Witch House

Here's a book I'd be interested in: if it exists. Can anyone help me out? I am interested in a social history of America in the 1920s-30s that would be a rich source for a sense of how people lived. It would not be dry reading about Movements, Currents, etc. but would evoke the felt life of...

My final comment is the one I feel may need the most refinement. I'm an English teacher and not a physicist. I invite help in refining it. Here goes. Physicists use the term "Copenhagen interpretation" to deal with the unsettling implications of what was learned in the 20th century about...

Lovecraft was a materialist. This means that he wanted to believe and, insofar as his Romantic project was materialist, for others to believe, that reality is, in principle, explicable entirely in naturalistic rather than supernatural terms, and that, in principle, the sciences, which...

I propose, with the indulgence of you all, to provoke some discussion of the following thesis: Lovecraft was a Romantic. He was a Romantic because, like Blake (who had very, very different beliefs), he wanted to change the consciousness of his readers. "Readers" refers to readers of his...

I have taken S. T. Joshi to task in many places for his insistence that "The Dunwich Horror" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's "artistic failures." In his wonderful and definitive study, The Rise and Fall of the Cthulhu Mythos, S. T. spends many pages discussing the story and stressing his viewpoint...

I've been re-reading Eternal Lovecraft: The Persistence of HPL in Popular Culture. Edited by Jim Turner. Am curious if others feel the same way about what he says in his introduction: American novelist Ralph Ellison once suggested that most authors write only "one good book," though they may...

Well, the Old Gent's influence continues to be felt, and it seems nearly everyday news comes out of new books being planned or released bearing his name. In this thread, I'd like to focus primarily on those which are writings by or about HPL himself, rather than fictional additions to the...

Sorry if there are threads on this already, but... I wanna read more Lovecraft! I've read some of his other stories, non-Cthulhu ones, and they just don't appeal to me as much. So basically what I want to know is, which Lovecraft stories are part of the Cthulhu Mythos?

Okay, there's been a fair amount of notice taken lately of the small independent film The Call of Cthulhu, an exercise in silent film that is one of the most loving adaptations of a Lovecraft story ever put on film. But along with that has come some discussion of scattered other film adaptations...

I'm reading Haunter of the Dark and its great. Does anyone here read Lovecraft as well? Or is horror and gothic too off-topic?
