"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us a little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go madNew to Lovecraft? This is the best place to start!New to cosmic horror? Ever wondered what all the fuzz is about? Worry no more. This is a large but easy to get through collection of Lovecraft's best short stories. It's a good starting point for any reader or horror fan. Unlike most fiction writers today, Lovecraft chose to spent most of his writing focusing on the indescribable madness of the ancient horror that have haunted mankind since times immemorial than the actual monsters themselves.
I first encountered H.P. Lovecraft's work as a teenager. My entry point was the same as it was for most people -- the Cthulhu stories, which Del Rey had published in a series of paperbacks with appropriately gruesome covers. After a while, my interest waned and I sold my copies. Recently, though, a friend's interest prompted me to revisit Lovecraft, this time undertaking his entire opus. And I'm glad I did.Reading a compendium of Lovecraft's work revealed to me both that his work consists of
Just finished this book. It was honestly one of the best collections of short stories and fiction that I have ever read. I absolutely love Lovecraft. Anyone who is a fan of Edgar Allan Poe would certainly love this collection as it focuses more on the psychological aspect of horror rather than jumpscares and gore. There's always a creeping sense of dread and the characters' emotions are extremely palpable in the story.If anyone calls themselves a fan of horror, then they absolutely should read
Reading the complete Lovecraft is a mixed bag. His prose is notoriously dense, gratuitously purple, but one warms to it eventually- indeed, it possesses a strange charm. And the quality of his work varies from disposable to masterful. However, unlike Poe (whose complete fiction I just reviewed last week), when Lovecraft figured out what he was good at, he kept at it, rather than moving into dilettante territory experimenting with genre and form and style. Most complaints about Lovecraft- his
Was excited to find this hardbound edition of The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft at Barnes & Noble - a B&N exclusive edition - for the reasonable price of $20.Over the last 20+ years I've read and re-read almost all of the short stories and novellas contained within, but it is quite nice to have them all compiled into one large volume, and I'm enjoying re-reading them yet again.This "collector's edition" styled volume is quite large, but well-bound and visually appealing. I like the
I am going to gush here, so be forewarned.First of all, yes Lovecraft was a horrendous racist even by the standards of his day and the wrongfulness of that should be acknowledged. Having said that, those sentiments manifested more strongly in his letters than his fiction. Its rarely a central feature of the narrative (as it is in The Street, He, The Horror at Red Hook and Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and his Family which have hints of the autobiographical), more often revealing
