The Lovecraft Thread

[Nightmare Asylum]

So, after letting that Anthology just sit there by my bed for the better part of a few months, I decided to skip ahead and read The Call of Cthulhu. Really awesome stuff. I can't wait to delve more into the book.

Oh so much yes.

"Everyone listened, and everyone was listening still when It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway into the tainted outside air of that poison city of madness."

Just thinking about it makes me eant to go to my bookshelf and take my anthology out for another read.

What are you going for next?

I just caught Cthulhu 2007 film. Still didn't have the  Cthulhu  monster in there but it was an interesting flick never the less (asides from the man on man stuff) i thought it had a decent premise and it had a Tori Spelling in it to toss around.

I don't know, what would you suggest? I really want to read At the Mountains of Madness, but I'm a little caught up in a paper right now, so perhaps something shorter would be better.

[OmegaZilla]

If you haven't read them already, I would suggest The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow out of Time, The Colour out of Space and The Whisperer in Darkness. Just for a start of course.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Awesome. If I have time, I'll try to get to at least a couple of those soon and report back.

The Rats in the Walls is a must read. That ending will screw with your head in so many ways, you can't even imagine.

[SpaceMarines]

At the Mountains of Madness, for me, is unquestionably his best work. Give it a read.

[OmegaZilla]

Already said he's going for something shorter first, as he's caught up in a paper.

The Whisperer in Darkness is Lovecraft's best story. The opening gave me chills the first time I read it.

And I'm actually almost done with it as we speak But I still think I want to read one or two shorter stories before delving into that.

[OmegaZilla]

Oooh which one which one?

[Nightmare Asylum]

I've heard good things about The Colour out of Space, so maybe I'll start there.

[Cvalda]

That is a masterpiece.

[OmegaZilla]

Indeed. I still remember the first time I read it. Not going into spoiler territory, but I was literally rattling in a certain moment of the story.
