What is the medium opinion on the works of Lovecraft around here?
I commonly enjoy his shorter stories, but others seem like "normie-horror" material made to unnerve the housewives of his time.
It's one of the few things I have the patience to read and the primary reason I go on this board.
Sue me.

you're not worth addressing seriously.
Let's skip the smalltalk and discuss the nigger poem, like in every other HP thread.
We all know this is just a pretense for pro scub/anti scub shit at this point. We're not going to convince each other, so let's just STOP.

Oh yes the nigger poem.
A true classic.
I highly recommend this essay by Houellebecq on H.P. Lovecraft. It's one of the best out there on Lovecraft and worth the read.

You talking about Howard Phillips "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." Lovecraft?
