Tales of H. P. Lovecraft
Tales of H. P. Lovecraft | H P Lovecraft
7 posts | 9 read | 6 to read
When he died in 1937, destitute and emotionally as well as physically ruined, H. P. Lovecraft had no idea that he would one day be celebrated as the godfather of modern horror. A dark visionary, his work would influence an entire generation of writers, including Stephen King, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, and Anne Rice. Now, the most important tales of this distinctive American storyteller have been collected in a single volume by National Book Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates.In tales that combine the nineteenth-century gothic sensibility of Edgar Allan Poe with a uniquely daring internal vision, Lovecraft fuses the supernatural and mundane into a terrifying, complex, and exquisitely realized vision, foretelling a psychically troubled century to come. Set in a meticulously described New England landscape, here are harrowing stories that explore the total collapse of sanity beneath the weight of chaotic events stories of myth and madness that release monsters into our world. Lovecraft's universe is a frightening shadow world where reality and nightmare intertwine, and redemption can come only from below."

Alright, I‘m gonna be honest...Poe was better in regards to short stories. I appreciated Lovecraft for the worlds he created, but how he drags on right before describing something horrid started to get on my nerves. Really enjoyed The Shadow Over Innsmouth and a few others in here.

This isn't exactly Cthulhu, but I sure love the design of change purse.

Stories are every where. Even in places we can not sew and hear.

"I felt the strangling tendrils of a cancerous horror whose roots reached into illimitable pasts and fathomless abysms of the night that broods beyond time."

The perfect book to get into the Spooktober mood. Every story is chilling, filled to the brim with a beautifully sinister atmosphere and a curious horror.

Now that I have successfully read stories by Lovecraft from throughout his career, I can see how much of an influence he has on Stephen King. I just wish he wasn't so terrified of architecture. (Pairs well with dark beers.)
