Just discovered something I never knew.
Most if not all of H.P. Lovecrafts literary works are now in the public domain.
Firstly, Wikipedia page on him here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft
Secondly, a fan has collected all of his works, and put them in ebook and pdf formats.

My Mom gave me some HP Lovecraft paperbacks when I was about 12. They scared the living shit out of me. Those kind of stories that made you wonder just what kind of evil things were lurking outside the bedroom window at night when it was dark outside.
In the 1980s, I saw a film based on one of his books called "From Beyond". Was kind of cheesy (no, there was no hot chick or expendable black dude in the original short story), but was fairly faithful to the book otherwise.

More recently there was an independent film made called "Call Of Cthulu", widely regarded as his most famous work.
I have not seen it, though I recall when it was in production. I don't think it ever saw a full-blown theatrical release. Played in a few theaters for an extremely limited run, and disappeared. Probably sucked, lol.
His work needs to be given the big budget Hollywood production treatment though.
He has inspired every major horror writter in the 20th-century.
Anyway, just thought I would share this stuff with you guys.
If you have never read his stuff, you should check it out. Most of his stories are short stories, so they are an easy read.
This dude was a trip. Imagine what he would have been like if he had been an acid-tripper, lol.
Unfortunately he died in his 40s from cancer. Such a shame he never got to know how he influenced all those who came after him.
