Hey! I just recently (tonight actually) started reading The Call of Cthulhu, and it's a pretty awesome story.
If anyone one else has ready anything by h.p. lovecraft, could you give me some recomendations for any of his stories to read?

"But nothing I could say could even adumbrate the loathsome, unholy, non-human, extra-galactic horror and hatefulness and unutterable evil of that forbidden spawn of black chaos and illimitable night."
Probably gonna skip these books. Don't seem like my cup of tea.

lol that site doesnt sound legit at all.
after poking about, i wouldn't base any decision off of its information.
What got me interested in his books, was from playing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth..
i haven't finished it yet..
the game is pretty messed up lol.
some parts, the suspense will build, and build, and build, and then nothing.

I always wanted to read Lovecraft's works, considering my nickname at my high school tech crew is "Cthulhu"...don't ask because I don't know myself. So, thanks for the link there hurtme.

Good American Horror authors have always been in short demand. Lovecraft was one of the few good ones we have.

I kinda like Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain.
