/lit/ - Literature

He lost.

The only fags who shill him are /pol/tards who don't actually read his works except for his poem against niggers

Pretty good stuff but prefer Poe for dark literature

>>15055196
He had a great imagination as far as his subject matter went. Terrible purple prose & abuse of superlatives of course. "Oh the indescribable monstrosity, it horrible and hidden visage leered at me as my mind fled through utmost abysses of indescribable indescribableness."

I do like his cat of course.

a really bad writer. perhaps one of the worst.

>>15055196
I'm starting to read him now and it's okay but I can't stand his writing style. It's convoluted and reminds me of Evola. But there is some good writing there

"...a civilization that recognizes no higher principle, but is in reality based only on a negation of principles, is by this very fact ruled out from all mutual understanding with other civilizations..."

I thought this was a fantastic quote and reminds me exactly of contemporary Western "cancel-culture" and Marxists.

obviously u think dis, based retard

>hello, eldrich department?
Titillating, extortionate and tenebrous

>>15055715
Yes, I "obviously" think this because I live in this society and lived through these people in university. "Based retard" indeed...

>>15055196
Horrible person and a horrible writer whose nuggets of good ideas inspired works of fiction far superior to his own.

>>15055729
based lovecraft, niggerman amirite haha

Decadent

>>15055201
His cat was literally named Niggerman.

Lovecraft is great wtf are you retards talking about his works inspired a lot of modern occultic fiction. I'm also from New England he paints a pretty accurate picture how local folklore.

>>15055687
t. filtered indescribable retard

>>15055784
this
looks like seething due to sheer chad transcendental aura of niggerman

>>15055201
wtf /pol/ is based bros???

>>15055196

>>15055196
The real redpill is most of it is real and not imagination

>>15055196
Visual artists hyped the shit out of him, just as they did to Moorcock and Howard.
Of course, I fell for the hype. I was expecting some truly visceral shit that would resonate in me for days if not months after first read.

>>15055196
He’s based but lefties hate him because he said mean things about the nignogs

the only people who dislike his prose are tone deaf.

>>15055196
E.A. Poe > Lovecraft

>>15056619
or people who read good books

>>15056864
Such as?

>>15055196
He is based. The only people who dislike him are leftist niggers that cannot appreciate a writer because their political views.

>>15055196
The king, no country should exist that allows a man like that to die of starvation. It should be born to the ground and reborn.

>>15055880
based department.

>>15055898
>transcendental
pol is always based you just have to filter the 90 percent kike jannie threads now a days on certain days.

>>15055196
I just read The Tomb. it was okay. I don't like reading though.

>>15055916
omfg lmao archive link?

>>15055196
a sucky chemist

>>15055196
Good atmospheric stories, but extremely over- and misused by popular culture in the last 20-15 years.

>>15055196
He's good. What are the best collections to buy currently? I bought the penguin "call of ctulhu" one years ago. I'd like to get his other stories too, but the two other volumes penguin put out years ago seems to all be out of print.
>>15055201
>>15055750
dilate.

>>15055196
he was a very good writer. I loved reading some of his short stories as a kid. "The Dunwich Horror" was just great.

>you have to write in conventionally good prose from the point of view of random students and scientists without a decent education
>you have to use normal descriptors when describing completely abnormal things

>>15057343
the dream cycle

>>15055196
He was your typical old white male
His books should be only available for research in the history of racism, they shouldn't be sold to the general public

pynchon

One of the most philosophically interesting writers of the 20th century and one of the best and most unique stylists. Anyone who says differently is a midwit trying to LARP as "guy with smart opinions about literature and culture" prior to having any ground to stand on when it comes to judging art.
