Whats your favourite Lovecraftian story or inspired piece.
I'm partial to the "Dunwitch horror" and "The thing on the doorstep" for stories and "The Mist" for an inspired movie.
Thoughts?

Why is Lovecraft so popular with normies?
They get him wrong every time
>>9763938
i just really enjoy his concepts

you mean they've haven't gotten to the "monsters really = niggers" level of understanding yet, is that what?
I remember liking Stephen King's short story "Jerusalem's Lot"

The shadow out of time.
Read a couple Ligotti short stories a while back, but I became distracted with other books. Seemed promising.
Not totally relevant to the thread, but how much genre fiction (lovecraft certainly counts) do you read? I'm the only person I know who reads both genre fiction and muh literature, although not in equal measure.
Why does everyone love Cthulu so much? He's lame as hell and he got btfo by a boat.

Predates Lovecraft, but The Great God Pan and The White People.

I wanted to enjoy that book, and I thought I would, but it just didn't grab me.
The book "14" by Peter Clines is probably my favorite Lovecraft-inspired work. It's an imperfect book but it has some truly inspired Lovecraftian scenes that just soar, and a very satisfying resolution. Would make a cool movie.
Oh, that reminds me, The Faculty was a really fun riff on Lovecraft, and some of Laird Barron's stories have great atmospherics and a wonderful build-up to and reveal of Lovecraftian horrors (Old Virginia, The Forest, Frontier Death Song).

This wasn't bad, but it really wasn't that great. The Jim Crow aspect was handled well enough but none of the actual horror/pulp aspects were that interesting.
