Why do people consider him profound? He's just a sci-fi pulp writer except less convincing because he relies on early 20th century gaps in scientific knowledge.

We still don't know what's in any of those places though.

>>24867349
it's not for the public to know

>>24867146
These were all just continuations of 1800s pop-fiction like Bayard Taylor, William Starbuck Mayo, Poe, Uri Lloyd, and then later pulp novelists like Edgar Burroughs and L Frank Baum. Cthulu is pronounced the same as Kaloolah, which is a mysterious Island novel by Starbuck Mayo, and who in his Never Again mentions an Ineffable Bosh, which is repeated in Ambrose Bierce's Fantastic Fables.

>>24867373
And? Shakespeare also rewrote Hamlet and gave it the final form.

>>24867146
No one considers him profound? We all consider him a horror pulp writer, just a fun one.
