Considered England to be the only civilized country

>"It would be too hideous if they knew that the one-time heiress of Riverside—the accursed gorgon or lamia whose hateful crinkly coil of serpent-hair must even now be brooding and twining vampirically around an artist’s skeleton in a lime-packed grave beneath a charred foundation—was faintly, subtly, yet to the eyes of genius unmistakably the scion of Zimbabwe’s most primal grovellers. No wonder she owned a link with that old witch-woman Sophonisba—for, though in deceitfully slight proportion, Marceline was a negress." - Medusa's Coil, HP Lovecraft

Mmm, I am sure that at the end of his life he became a racial denialist, stating that races not exist

>"But success and happiness were not to be. Garish daylight shewed only squalor and alienage and the noxious elephantiasis of climbing, spreading stone where the moon had hinted of loveliness and elder magic; and the throngs of people that seethed through the flume-like streets were squat, swarthy strangers with hardened faces and narrow eyes, shrewd strangers without dreams and without kinship to the scenes about them, who could never mean aught to a blue-eyed man of the old folk, with the love of fair green lanes and white New England village steeples in his heart." - He, HP Lovecraft

Based. Once got blasted and visited his grave at the cemetery his family is buried at in Providence. Said a bunch of dumb shit then left. When I got in the car the song Call of Kthulu by Metallica came on the radio. Most epic moment of my life.

>The name of the cat, "Nigger Man", has often been cited in discussions of Lovecraft's racial attitudes. Lovecraft owned a cat by that name until 1904.

didnt he die broke

Many writers do. They don't get remotely famous until after they die. Lovecraft was an obscure writer until after he died friends kept his mythos going.

His simpler works really do have a lot of charm to them

Who is a good horror author then cunt? Tell me someone good

>>Once wrote a horror story where the plot twist was that a woman with light skin was actually black
Name?

Ah thank you, was looking for the name of that story.

I googled that shit and I'm literally dying right now.

What was with it with late 19th century writers and being obsessed with Britishness
I mean, like every classic from the time mentions "oh man it's so great to be British, even though the moral of this book is imperialism is bad"

yes

He makes it really obvious he's at the very least classist in his writing. No wonder leftists loved him until they realized he was also very racist

Because the British sphere formed the literature you are being pushed today. The British sphere of influence technically won most of the recent wars and basic rules of humanity dictate we explore the culture of the victor.

There's significantly more late 19th century authors who don't give a fuck about it, you've just never read them and never will.

because Britain was No.1 superpower back in the day, you poor undereducated burger.

What did the nazis get wrong? What are the right reasons to hate jews?

From little ive read, these writers always like to put in that detail
I know but it's not like it's a man focus of the story. Though a lot of books like the idea of the deviation from viewing Britishness as all mighy

>Once wrote a horror story where the plot twist was that a woman with light skin was actually black

I actually loled. What story?

Because you are reading books written in English in the late 19th century.
No shit most of them are British

>From little ive read, these writers always like to put in that detail
That's just what you've been exposed to, because English became the global language.

In fact, the literature we're exposed to and consider relevant forms some 2-3% of the entire literature of the time period. There are thousands of masterpieces written that you'll never read, because they were written in another language or by someone who lost a war. You've never read a Bulgarian book, since we lost every war we've been in for the last century.

The British still have that witty classy intelligent sense of humour. There are many genuinely smart person so maybe that's the main reason for that. The islanders also have good sense of style, too.

>people

I know, but they always mention how great it's to be British off hand. like it's just normal conversation. How often do American writers mention being a patriot

fukn lmao

Traditional British people are a dying breed

Fair enough, its just funny to me

source?

I love this story so much. The twist was that the horrifying monster... was also a nigger.

Someone said yesterday his works were a warning not fiction!

There was no part of this olympian plan that was clever. It backfired horribly.

Ayooo la la cthulhu shieet nigga, cthulhu shieet nigga bix nood

the original /pol autist

He is basically Jow Forums incarnate. Dark, almost sick sense of humour. More-or-less autistic. Hated Jews and blacks. Named his pet nigger. Most assuredly /ourguy/

>Planetary/Authority: Ruling the World.
The world of Warren Ellis’ brilliant comic Planetary is based on the concept of what if everything that happened in books in our world happened for real in the Planetary World. So you get Sherlock Holmes and Dracula as characters as well as expys of Doc Savage, James Bond and Fu Man Chu. So it makes sense that the Cthulhu Mythos would show up eventually.

>In The City of Judgment story, Rhode Island is attacked by a giant squid sea-good and his humanoid flying fish minions. Planetary, a team of of treasure hunting urban anthropologist, led by Elijah “It’s a strange world out there let’s keep it that way” Snow and the anti-hero-superheroes The Authority show up to save the day. Now Elijah and the Authority’s Jenny Spark where born in 1900 and don’t age, so off course at least one of them would have met Lovecraft in the past. If TSAoHPL has the old man turned into a noir hero. P/A:RtW written by iconoclast Ellis shows Lovecraft in a light that emphases his ugly fault of racism. Snow is shocked, when Lovecraft finds the sea create eggs, and his ignorance and racism makes him believe they are “negro eggs.”

If you believe the basedboys at Cracked, he also started out by trolling the 1920s equivalent of comments sections, and got so good at shitposting that someone hired him to write for real.

thanks user, might have to check it out

I remember reading his stuff when i was a teenager. fascinating but also struck me the same as you though i didnt have the right words for it got a feeling of great evil and godlessness from him.

later i found lovecraft is deeply, deeply revered by fucking monsters like RAW, peter levenda, and luciferian occultists.

but hey, he was a racist! until he shacked up with a harpy bitch

I love HP Lovecraft but Poe is also good, Bram stoker, William Hope Hodgson, Thomas Ligotti... lots of other good writers, look into it. You won’t regret it

If he were alive today, he'd be shitposting here & making creepypasta on /x/, so /ourguy/ basically.

He thought the Nazis were too progressive & erratic (simply a lesser & necessary evil to eventually restore Germany to full greatness), and the Jew to be a more fundamental rot & blight than they imagined, including the loss of the classical pagan world to Christianity. The Nazis wanted to expel them back to Israel, he actually would have holocausted them, only without the wooden doors kek.

Seconding Ligotti for a recent author. Laird Barron as well if you're into cosmicism.

It's possible he'd had contact with the 30s era occultists (he features some real occultism in his stories), but he viewed them as hacks & frauds. His work was largely driven by his dreams - there's a reason dreams feature so prominently in his work.
It's not plebbit user, the idea & not the grammar is the important thing here. If anything, it marks you out as a newfag to worry about it at all.
