WHAT THE HELL IS THiS????

You have never read one measly H.P. Lovecraft story? Ever? If you read any Stephen "Fuckface" King then you read Lovecraft because King is the Jimmy Page of fiction horror.

Read some of the previous posts

Holy sheep shit. You actually read Lovecraft? I always thought of him as a pretentious, racist bore who did not know how and when to end a fucking sentence. 'The Colour Out Of Space' was the most ridiculous shit ever. Imagine a racist meteor terrorizing a quiet Massachusetts town which was really a lame allegory for blacks moving into a quiet, white neighborhood. I'd ask slave FORD to burn my copy of Lovecraft's hack work but have a suspicious feeling slave FORD likes novels about racism.

I agree Lovecraft was extremely pretentious, up to a level that I can only aspire to. And yes, he was one of the most racist individuals to ever exist. Even for his time.

But I still like some of his stories. Mostly because of his strong connection to Edgar Allan Poe, of which I am an even bigger fan of. Go ahead, rip me a new one, I don't mind.

I'm sure you know Lovecraft was obsessed with Poe. Well, while he wasn't as good, he did refine the horror story-telling & created plausible monsters - aliens that came here aeons ago, long before Mankind came to be. To this day, with the underwater exploration efforts renewed, I am scared shitless of what might be there.

Did you see the images of the things that were dragged from the unfathomable depths of the sea back in 2004, in the aftermath of the Phuket Tsunami?

That's only what the strength of the Tsunami could drag out from the bottom of the ocean. Who knows what unspeakable horrors resisted that force?

To this day, I'm still half convinced that Lovecraft was absolutely crazy & there was something dictating those stories to him. Did you read The Music of Erich Zann? Amazing.

I don't have the time. Clicking takes too much energy for me these days. 'Pickman's Model' was a good Lovecraft read. The "north end" with all its strange tunnels sounds like a kwel place to get wasted.

No, no, no. King may be a hack, but he never stole from anyone.

I like Stephen King, actually. It's very easy to read, it's like you're watching a film instead of reading a book. The pages go by pretty fast.

Books , it's a history thang

Books.

About a fuckin ginger bread man. And you say I'm gay.

Kristy - I'm with you on this one. Although I refuse to read any of this crap. Ginger gread men and monsters sounds gayer than Top Gun.

Are you guys actually gonna watch this stupid fucking Warcraft movie? The graphics suck and it's beyond stupid looking.

No, the ginger bread man is not from a book. It's from this.

I'm not sure you're man enough to watch that, though. It gets *really* nasty at times.

And I'll hype it up the best I can, no problem. If there's a film that can not only live up to the hype, but SURPASS it, it's that one.

IF you're man enough to watch it. I bet I even know which end you'll choose, you little pussy.

Really ? I like some King but at times he even steals from himself .

Head nod to Poe , big influence on not just horror but other genres.

I'm glad you guys like these weird movies and books. But a fuckin ginger bread man that tries to attack me gets stomped and pissed on

Poe was fucked in the head royal. Even though he saw a lot of death (from his mother to his wife) something happened to him I'd say around his early 20's. Nobody just starts writing like that. Never really thought of him as a horror writer in that Poe knew the depths of human depravity and loss. His shit was more rooted in reality because you knew 'The Masque Of Red Death' was about consumption upon which so many that Poe loved died from. And there was always more than one form of evil running though his stories. I mean, who was more of a prick? Prospero or death itself?

Lovecraft was WeIRd but repetitively wEiRd. Creatures that live in walls, grotesque figures that dwell in remote forest (like you average Bernie Sanders supporter), slimy amorphous exoskeletal sea aliens I never really got into. Plus, there was too much first person narrative with the guy when some of his characters could have been more interesting to either love or hate. I don't think anything was dictating to him. Lovecraft in way invented horror mythology - I'll give him that.

"Zann said that he was old, lonely and afflicted with strange fears and nervous disorders connected with his music and other things."

Sounds like half of this forum.

Stop quoting the same post over & over again. I told you to go back & click on the multi-quote button again.

Stealing from yourself isn't stealing. It's recycling. Yes, there are influences of previous writers in his work, but they're not the bulk of his work, like Jimmy Page did.

And you're right about Poe. He could tell an unsettling story just to make you laugh yourself to tears in the next one.

Never Bet the Devil Your Head & The Balloon Hoax were good ones, but there was one that had me in stitches, yet the name eludes me. It was one where two competing newspaper editors make bets about not using certain letters in the whole newspaper the next day, or something like that. It grows increasingly bizarre & there's a point where one of the editors had to write a whole article in which every word contained the letter O. It was beautiful.

Ok, so I'd shoot it with my Rebel M&P and then piss on it.
