Hey, at least normies haven't ruined lovecraftian horror yet.

It's always been shit. Lovecraft was a manlet.

>implying
Lovecraft has become mainstream as shit now. Normies think Cthulhu's real the same way they think/thought Slenderman was real.

>>18392689
They might have Cthulhu, it's a sad sacrifice, but they don't know anything more about the lore.

>>18392638
Lovecraft was so neckbeard he couldn't even grow one.

>>18392638
you wouldn't believe the number of shit bands that use lovercraftian themes

>>18392638
Ligotti has saved it and he's pretty popular, though not among the normies.

I read his works, while some of his stories are ok, I really think there's a lot more that could be explored in the genre of cosmic horror, anyone recommend other authors in this genre?

Reminder that Lovecraft's work is not for Liberals.

Lovecraft actually encouraged others to use the names of his characters. Even authors in his own day like Robert Howard did...

>>18392638

They're trying really hard.

>>18392638
of course they have. the plush cthulhu culture is what most people know about lovecraft.

>>18395757
I'm getting a little tired of Cthulhu memes. I don't think Call of Cthulhu is even one of his better stories.

>>18392638
My favorite lovecraft story is Charles Dexter Wade

>>18395757

Don't forget the Coon & Friends episode of South Park.

>>18396499

This along with either The Dunwich Horror or The Whispers in the Dark

Mi-go blows the fuck out of Cthulu shits.

>>18394634

Lovecraft's influence has permeated every aspect of our culture; art, music, movies, tv, etc. And the award committee is replacing his image with that of an obscure nobody that no one has ever heard of just because she's a politically correct black woman.

If I were a writer and they gave me that award, I'd refuse it in disgust.

Through the Gates of the Silver Key is my favorite.
