Has anyone here ever read an H.P Lovecraft novel, if so, which one is your favorite?, personally, my favorite is Call of Cthulhu, although it is his most well known, it has a special place in my heart because it actually made me ponder my role in the greater cosmos

He only wrote one novel: The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, though I suppose you could bend the definition and include his five novellas: The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, At the Mountains of Madness, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, & The Shadow Out of Time. I've read all his stories, and Mountains is my favorite from that list.

I really like Cold Air. It might not be his best, but the atmosphere had me like...

Cool Air*

Horror at Red Hook is based.

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is my favorite. I'm holding my breath about the movie they're making, but chances are it won't compare.

The Whisperer in the Darkness was his most frightening story.

The Dunwich Horror was more based than Call of Cthulu

I've read The Call of Cthulhu, The Rats In the Walls, At the Mountains of Madness, and am currently reading The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. What should I read next by him? I want to read more of his Cthulhu mythos but I'm really not sure what the next-best stories by him are.

It's been an age since I read through all his works, so they've kinda blended together. But I always really liked the one with the pyramids and Nyarlathotep. The thing with how Sphinxes are just the toes of a much bigger and horrific being was a really interesting idea, if a bit ridiculous. Plus Nyarlathotep is best old god.

Call of Cthulhu is pretty vastly overrated in my opinion. It's hard to maintain an atmosphere of irrelevance in the face of a greater power when you drive your fucking boat through the head of the greater power and mulch the fucker back into the water.

He made almost none of the Cthulu mythos. It was mostly his friends.

I read them in order of release, and it was a terrible idea. I don't remember any of them.

I read pretty much everything he wrote, and I love Charles Dexter Ward.

Lovecraft a shit
