Sir...SIR...we all know the best way to read Lovecraft is in our murkiest, dustiest, most forgotten wing of our aged mansions, isolated and alone, with a glass of absinthe and a heart of mortal dread and regrets.

I mean, come on, now!

The world of Bloodborne inspired me to seek Lovecraft's works. Just started the Dunwich Horror.

“Don’t make Lovecraft for kids.” Amen brother, amen. Great video.

[Uathe]

Living for this coool lamp light thing you’ve got there. And the video is appreciated!

I recommend Gou Tanabe's mythos adaptations. Great little comic books with very distinctive black and white art.

There are several stories revised or ghost-written by Lovecraft. They were published in the collection "The Horror in the Museum and Other Revisions". The titular story holds a special place in my heart since it introduced me to Lovecrafts work and the concept of cosmic horror.
It might not be "pure" Lovecraftian horror, but that doesn't diminish its quality. I would love to hear your review on those stories!

Honestly thanks for this! I have had Call of Cthulhu for about a year and a half and had a hard time reading it at all

Late summer reading of the dream cycle. Exhaustion and tiredness while reading gave it more depth.

it's very easy, let me explain how:
1. Buy a Lovecraft book
2. Read it

Unknown is the core of all horror, from the largest to the smallest scale. The levels and associations to which something unknown can be or behave are limitless. It’s unfortunate that some of his associations came from the wrong places, but I think that part of the exercise and distinction to look out for as well as watching or listening to things that reverse that script. So there are shows like ‘Lovecraft Country’ or books like ‘The Ballad of Black Tom’ that do this. I would say if you want to read lovecraft, you might also need a bit of a mental shower after.

I've read a lot of Lovecraft, but if I'm being honest I vastly prefer it being read to me via audio book or something similar, there's something that I can't catch while I'm reading it. But hearing it is something else

It's not a criticism really; I understand and appreciate anyone's passion for Lovecraft's work, and glad for it across so many generations. I discovered Lovecraft at around 10 y/o and that was almost 50 years ago now. My problem I suppose has more to do with personal evolution than anything, and while so many adaptations and referential works have kept his name alive, on the other hand disappointed that Lovecraft has essentially become the filler of a cultural void we all tend fall back on in the absence of anything truly unique to a genre, particularly these days - how I found this video in the first place, proof that Lovecraft withstands the test of time against almost any modern media enterprise; _when all else fails, H.P. Lovecraft delivers._ Yet increasingly it seems Lovecraft, has more and more become a consumer product whether praised or cursed, a source of radical entertainment for modern audiences bored with the vapid schlock of contemporary horror, sci-fi and fantasy to the point of being touched by 'woke' virtue signalling and even anime, that noone regards the ideological, philosophical or even real scientific relevance of his work in a world of AI, UFOs, superstrings, quantum physics and multi-dimensional mathematics, as far ahead of his time as Nikola Tesla and Carl Jung, Charles Fort or John A. Keel. So we remain blissfully oblivious to the stranger truths in Lovecraft's fiction lurking at the threshold, whispering in the darkness at the dawn of the very new dark age we are immersed in.

in the 70's at school the teachers scolded us if we moved the pages from the bottom of the book -
only allowed to turn page from top corners

I have the Word Cloud Classic because I feel I can bring it anywhere...just finished the At the Mountains of Madness...planning on reading everything...

[dannyd.]

I’ve often wondered what manner of horrors Lovecraft would have put to paper if he had lived long enough to see the dawn of the Nuclear Age.

Have You seen Alessandro Breccia ilustrated Lovecraft novels ? The art and feel is Simplus breathtaking
