I’m always saying this. His stories are fantastic! His writing not so much. Reading lovecraft is a task. A test of patience.
He is my favorite author but it’s like in Charles Dexter ward he says something like “like a year adding time defying mirror” just say the painting looked like the dude. Wtf lovecraft
Have you read some of his long romance like “The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath”? Or “The silver key”. His stories wasn’t only about tentacles, and even when they where, “At mountainof madness”, "the shadow over innsmouth " and "The Call of Cthulhu"are gems of the genre.
Yeah I love the Dream Quest, i love the different bizzare cultures (not racist this time) and enviroments, it felt like he had a lot of practice as a writer by that one. The cat society was my fav part
That’s maybe my favorite one, either that or The Beast in the Cave, that one’s aot shorter tho XD
After reading all of HP Lovecraft out of curiosity, i learned he was a really bad writer.
He was just one of the first people to create this kind of horror.
I only ended up enjoying like 3 or 4 of his stories.

The same way Conan Doyle was just one of the first people creating detective stories. And yet today everyone knows of Sherlock Holmes.
I liked Doyle a lot more than Lovecraft
