IT WAS REALLY SPOOKY

he's not even that bad. Non white male speaking here.

>ugly autistic nerd

young lovecraft was cute in his own way. He wasn't ugly, though. Older lovecraft maybe.

heads up the only people who call people "ugly autistic nerd" are usually themselves insecure about their looks and are probably hiding the fact they're ugly autistic nerds the best they can. It rarely works. It didn't work in your post, at least.

HI I HAVE A BIG COCK CALL ME : 12345678910

Only thing of his I've read it Call of Cthulhu, it was so fucking boring I fell asleep on multiple occasions trying to trudge through it. And in the end Cthulhu gets beaten by hitting him with a boat lmao. Some cosmic horror.

tbf apparently even Lovecraft himself didn't consider it one of his better stories, but I don't see how this spawned such an enduring fandom, maybe some of the ideas were more novel at the time.

cuz its an unconscious symbol of vagina u dingus. ofc autists will think its the spoojiest think in existence.

I don't think anyone has ever defended Lovecraft as a fantastic stylist.

As for the "master race", it has not that much to do with looks. Who would they be? French? Anglo? Jews? Not necessarily known as the most handsome people in the world.

Unironically worse than Stephen King.

Lovecraft is not bad. There is a reason his stuff is remembered.

I'm an Afro American and I didn't mind his casual racism. It's not like he said much about hating niggers, he just sort of casually placed them on the same level as animals or something.

His writing is kind of shit, though.

>shapes and colors which don't exist!
>oh god they're coming!

What does "gibbous" mean?

>virginity
Wasn't he married?

He pretty much hated everybody that wasn't tried and true "American". His letters when he lived in New York show this.

Horror can't be that profound when it tries to spook people.

>DUDE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT WAS SO SCARY...THAT EVERYONE DIED

sp00ky ghost costume mate, happy (late) halloween

Yes, he was. His wife described him as "an adequately excellent lover".

I've been reading through the B&N Lovecraft Complete Fiction and I agree with this.
He has some great ideas but he can't write worth shit.

dude

LIKE DUDE

SHIT WAS SO SCARY

IT WAS SO FUCKED UP

EVERYONE DIED

WHOA MAN.

>it's also hilarious that an ugly autistic nerd with an extreme underbite would write paragraphs about muh anglo saxon master race when he looked like an inbred retard sheepfucker from north england

/pol/ in a nutshell

>cyclopean architecture
every goddamn time

But I agree with . The writing is shit, but I think he's lasted because he tapped into the horror inherent in seeing your own tiny existence from a cosmic scale. A comparable work might be Horton Hears a Who.

It's about the vibe.

...

>muh anglo saxon master race
Britain back then (late 19th century-early 20th century) was the king of industry. Pretty much the strongest nation in the world.

this desu

Just this past summer I was reading that same story and got a mouse infestation a few days later. Story must be cursed.

Someone post the poem

Can any of you actually explain why you think his writing is 'shit'?

Because I think it's extremely good. Most of his stories are 85% setup, 14% climax and 1% negros. In depth detail of everything thats important, great atmosphere, and characters that are either intriguing or country bum-alien fodder

>fame is a meritocracy

In terms of technical matters like setting up and structuring his stories, he's fine. The problem lies in his hackneyed, unimaginative use of language throughout everything - the reliance on a small range of paint-by-numbers descriptions that get tiring quite fast.
Compare to Tennyson's 'cosmic horror' writing almost a century earlier:

>above him swell
>Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
>And far away into the sickly light,
>From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
>Unnumbered and enormous polypi
>Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.

That's better than anything Lovecraft wrote and it was practically an afterthought

The British had the biggest empire the world has ever seen. If there ever was a masterrace then the only reasonable choice would be Anglos thanks to their tactical geopolitical moves through history. Also OP is retarded if he thinks being ugly (which he wasn't per se) is an argument against that.

Yes, we get it, Lovecraft got "too popular" so now we have to hate it on principle. How edgy.

>Who would they be?

The Germans of course!

define german

>unnatural angles
>shapes that can't be understood by man
>too horrifying to describe
>obvious that every character is a fish person
>tentacles

you forgot to mention
>okay... time to go in the big spooky fuckoff glacier
>let me spend like
>an entire chapter describing PRECISELY what we brought with us. im not skipping anything. fuck you. this never comes up later.

Should I read Conan the Barbarian?

Is it fun?

Breddy good. His quality of writing and storytelling generally goes up over time FYI.

Not those guys, but the ones in the background.

>just me and my cat African-American Man

No. It's just poorly paced action sequences that have no place being in a book. Watch the movie from 82 and nothing else.

Your opinions are shit and so are you.

Yeah. Germans can brag all they want, but the british proved themselves as the master race. I think it's the unique mix of basque/celt natives, roman occupation, and then invasions from the Anglo-Saxons and Normans. It's like they drafted the best alpha males from history

Why don't you get out your callipers?

>he thinks phrenology is a pseudoscience

FUCK OFF nu-male cuck

>I'm an Afro American and I didn't mind his casual racism. It's not like he said much about hating niggers, he just sort of casually placed them on the same level as animals or something.

Behold, a poem written by HP Lovecraft:

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

When, long ago, the Gods created earth
in Jove's fair image, Man was shaped at birth
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed,
yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap and join the rest to Man,
th' Olympian host conceived a clever plan.
A beast the wrought in semi-human figure,
filled it with vice and called the thing a nigger

I'm both ashamed and happy that I am still able to recite it.

>Britain
>Pretty much getting the bronze medal after Germany & Sweden for cuckoldry
>alpha

Ok then...

To a jewish woman none the less.

Is ReportOfTheWeek Lovecraft reincarnated?

You're more cancerous than those you mock.

I'm reading the Lovecraft stories right now. They're mostly great!

I just dislike the ones where the ending is obvious.

My favorite thus far is the one with the WW1-era Germans finding some ancient underwater city and going nutso

I don't think that Brits as that more genetically superior to Germans or other north europeans. It's more the geopolitical aspect.

>island; thanks to that:
>developed the biggest naval power; thanks to that:
>explored and colonialised the world; thanks to that:
>profited through their colonies (commodities) and
>colonies profited from them thanks to their political intervention (which simply was superior to the native way of life); thanks to that
>little to non adversaries to the empire

The main reason is simply that to dominate the world, you need to be able to get everywhere in the quickest possible way, which then was on sea and besides spain there wasn't really anyone who was technologically a real competitor. Germany eg only ha a little part of the the Nordsee and therefore weren't that specialised in naval affairs.

As so often, one simply has to be on the right spot on the right time.

Nice try.

The Anglo rules the world for a reason, and that reason is because we're better. It doesn't matter how many times G*rmanics try to bring down Western civilization, we will always stay on top.

Also Lovecraft's writing is mediocre at best, I read him when I'm camping with the same level of reverence I give smut.

>fighting with your dick out

That's hardcore though.

>I'm a mongrel and proud of it
>I created world mercantilism
>I created industrialism
>I launched capitalism to the global stage
>I fostered the Jews
>I turned what could have been the most wicked militaristic empire in history into a global shopping center
>This is what an ANGLO looks like & proud of it

this is actually top bantz

absolutely based

>He wasn't ugly, though
His mum used to call him ugly m8.

Dunno, 7/10 compared to what's on todays streets.

I would say exposure in other media. People love the familiar.

Stay mad g*rmanic swine.
