(read any Lovecraft) Lovecraft is one of those authors whose ideas are better improved upon. He writes in aa flamboyant style which leaves itself open to effortless parody.

The Mountains of Madness is insanely long though, I cant force her to read all of that XD I agree, honestly. Lovecraft is the Tolkien of horror, I guess, in more ways than one. At least he can actually be scary, not like that hack who seems to have undeservedly gotten the title of "The master of horror" and couldn't scare his way out of a daycare made out of wet cardboard. ....Anyway.

Talking about long Lovecraft stories, maybe it's because I read the translations but am I the only one that thinks that while his short stories are not bad at all, his actual novel lenght stories are kind of boring?

When it comes to casual racism in historical sources, I tend to view it more as a peek into the popular mindset of the time, the assumptions that were taken for granted, "facts" so commonly held as true that no one ever bothered to check them. Every era has its so-called acceptable targets—which does not, in any way, make the fact that they're considered such right or even acceptable—but I find that when I'm trying to write within a historical era, seeing what the acceptable targets were and how they were treated both in fiction and in reality gives insight into what everyday life in that era may have been like. 34 minutes ago, Zathoth said: Well then (Link spam incoming) The Colour Out of Space (One of my favorite things ever) The Dunwhich Horror The Call of Cthulhu (Which I personally think is somewhat overrated, but just for the sake of pop culture, you know) The Shadow Over Innsmouth Lets start with that.
