Lovecraft is dogshit
>>25125217Finally getting some recognition here
>>25125219post ur own work, now
>>25125230Don't have any. :^)
>>25125217The premise of this is the gayest thing known to man, it's entirely about how the Innsmouthers were good actually. I am convinced Alan Moore was the only guy to do a Lovecraft critique in a way that didn't feel like seething hatred from a retard
>>25125217What's the worst horror novel/story any of you have read?
>>25125273>stunned and aghastYou can just tell what this person looks like before googling them.
>>25125217What is it about pulp horror (in the modern sense not horror in pulps) that makes Joshi seethe so much
>>25125217Why isn't Long as talked about as the others in the Lovecraft circle
A few random stories to recommend: >Who Goes There? by John W Campbell*>The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis by Clark Ashton Smith*>The Empire of the Necromancers by Clark Ashton Smith*>The Return of the Sorcerer by Clark Ashton Smith*>Guts by Chuck Palahniuk >The Father-thing by Philip K Dick>Faith of Our Fathers by Philip K Dick>Procession of the Black Sloth by Laird Barron*>Pickman's Modern by Lawrence Watt-Evans>The Black Stone by Robert E Howard >Jerusalem's Lot by Stephen King >Autopsy in Room 4 by Stephen King >The Man in the Underpass by Ramsey Campbell*The authors^^^ with a star beside their name, those titles are all I've read by them and I could use some recommendations for other stories to read those authors in particular. I want to read more Laird Barron but his short stories are really more like novelettes in length and while I liked Black Sloth I find it hard to convince myself to just pick up the collection it's in and read the rest of it front to back.
Don't believe anyone who shills Colin Wilson. He's a boring writer and he does not really understand horror.
>>25125217>Clark Ashton Smith editionI've read a few stories of his recently, The Second Interment, The Chain of Aforgomon, and The Dark Eidolon. The first one was very predictable and the weakest story of his I've read so far, also the darkest. The second was alright, I see why it's one of the more popular stories of his but I liked The Chain of Aforgomon more.
>>25125217I bought some Wrath James White books recently, what am I in for?
>>25125867>and I could use some recommendations for other stories to read those authors in particular.Dark Eidolon, Xeethra, Morthylla, The Isle of the Torturers, The Colossus of Ylourgne and The end of the Story are all pretty good stories from CAS
about to readwhat i getting into
I've been dabbling in writing short horror stories, but I end up just veering into horror comedy. Nothing scares or disturbs me.
