bluesreligionDear, bluesreligion (...well, I don't know your name. Sorry, for such addressing) I've heard you like to play videogames, and if you a fan of our 'great and magnificent lord Lovecraft' (^_^) (Cthulhu fhtagn!), well, have you played in 'Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth'? And if you have, please tell what do you think about it?

I never read but seem my type of books That's what I always thought too, and I've recently gotten into him.. I am hooked. He is a skilled writer, and even more-so brilliant at crafting his own world and mythology. He really sucks you into his morbid, fascinating imagination. Out of the handful of stories I've read so far in 'The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales', my favourite tales are definitely of Nyarlathotep and The Nameless City. Excellent reads, I hear Nyarlathotep continues on in other stories? Rather excited for that.

I recommend buying one of the big compilations such as The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales as I have, or H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction if you're especially keen, seems to have all that mine has plus the rest.

Yes I did love the case of Charles Dexter Ward as well. As for beating him up the guy was a flagrant racist and was noted as such both in his stories and personal life. Yeah, Lovecraft's racials and politician tastes are really horrible. S. T. Joshi (in one of his books dedicate to biog. of HPL) said that HPL had been sympatised Hitler! for his yonger period of life... ...So, yeah, he did bear in mind some terrible thoughts. But we also have to say that not everyone writers of the past who shared such thoughts can be blamed, because the accusations to them may be an anachronism. Lovecraft is not right for us now and without doubts he was not right for that times. But anyway, he lived in his society that had some influences to him. He lived in a patriarch family. Even his trip to Boston with Sonya didn't make him more opened to the others who wasn't like them. I think Lovecraft could be more politely and toleranted, but he was a victim of conditions of life... Yeah, HP Lovecraft was so racist that he hated the Welsh... THE WELSH! Anyways he was a good writer and I enjoy his works. I like A Shadow Over Innsmouth best.

Yeah, Lovecraft was a racist... here's one prooflink: He hated the Welsh because he was an Anglo Saxon racial supremecist and the Welsh were apparently an inferior Celtic race.It's really stupid knowing what we know now about how the English are of the greater portion Celtic Briton than Anglo Saxon but a lot of New England Yankees thought that way at the time.

ΔιαμονδГоворя по правде, я уже просто не помню точное место у Джоши о ненависти Лавкрафта к славянам. Увы, хотя у Джоши просто восхитительно подробное жизнеописание будничных рутиных дней и приключений Лавкрафта, тем не менее, довольно затруднительно представляется найти у него что-либо без надлежащей скурпулёзности и внимательности. Вот ссылка на популярный доступный перевод: linkА ссылка и вправду не работает?
