Yes, that's the chap. The only thing he ever wrote that was worth reading. You really aught to track it down, you'll find it well worth the trouble.

Lovecraft had his moments of brilliance. But like a lot of prolific authors, including Stephen King And Koontz, they sometimes get in a rut and just keep regurgitating the same story with a few name changes.

A lot of authors are "weirdos".

Well I'm not an expert on Lovecraft, but he seemed to overdo it.

Circlip: I don't know if you are familiar with him at all, but it seems there was very little about him that wouldn't make one feel uncomfotable.
I am in no way familiar with HP Lovecraft.

Just sayin'.

In that case it isn't too late to advise you not to bother.

I like his stories, and are they weirder than those of Edgar Allan Poe?
When Jules Verne wrote his books about a submarine or a zeppelin everybody called him a weirdo, I guess. But later a submarine and a zeppelin were invented. Maybe they were invented because Jules Verne had written those books?
A writer might be a dreamer, sometimes dreams become reality.

Wednesday I will get my first publisher on the phone about the first book I wrote and which is waiting to be published.

I don't have the patience to read them, but I've listened to a few on Youtube. They all seem pretty pointless to me.
