It's ok, he never had sex with her as a general rule.

That's exactly why he was a hack.
>thinking being a secluded timorous faggot etc. is good
Grow up, idiots.

I think Clark Ashton Smith was even more of recluse and weirdo. And arguably a better writer, though it hurts to admit this for a Lovecrafter like me.

If everyone is a racist no one is.

I miss the time when you could put an ad in a newspaper and get a wife.

Lovecraft was a racist before all this cultural racism bullshit ever came up.

He was actually good in bed according to his wife.

Regardless of your opinion, he is literary - unless you disagree with Penguin Classics and Library Of America. Mere hacks would not be in print in those prestigious lines today - they would be forgotten after those copies of Weird Tales disintegrated. He wasn't a faggot either - more fair to say asexual and disinterested. You presume in too many broad strokes.
