by H.P. Lovecraft, Joyce Carol Oates
This was a fascinating read. Getting insight into the writer who inspired so many of today's bigger stars in dark, macabre writing was great. While I think they would have read better more spaced out - a lot of the stories start to feel a little samey if they're from the same era of Lovecraft's care...
The grandson wants to remember what the father wished to forget. - Anonymous The moral of "The Rats in the Walls", like so many Lovecraft stories, is Ignorance is bliss. Or more specifically its corollary, Cognizance is torment. So don't go poking around swampy cyclopean structures, or digging ...
My husband got mock-annoyed with someone the other day. "She hasn't heard of Lovecraft," he said. "Now I can never talk to her again."The thing is, Lovecraft is a difficult author to point to. You've only heard of him if you've heard of him. There's no quick and easy reference to him. "Oh, *you* kno...
If you only wanted to invest in one really good hardcover of Lovecraft and don't require all the stories, this would be a good place to go.

He's good at getting you interes...
I took one of those quizzes online to see which famous author "I write like" (iwl.me) and it came back as H.P. Lovecraft. Having never read his works, I think now would be a good time to start. Oh man, this book was excellent! H.P Lovecraft was way ahead of his time in his writing. He was bizarro b...
A genre typically known as gothic horror, but I prefer operatic. For sheer imaginative spectacle you can't beat it, not to mention there's no headier scary stuff. After tends to feel like I've been hyperventilating, all dizzying and chilling, even upon rereading. This is a favored edition because I...
