What the gently caress is up with that? Also, why do so many lovecraft stories seem to be about people discovering that their ancestors hosed fish or apes, that dude had some issues.

The real horror is that Lovecraft was right about a lot of things, OP. That's the secret ending you get after you read all his stories.

My favorite so far is actually 'The Case of Charles Dexter Ward', that one was pretty good and the unavoidable ancestral twist did not involve bestiality.

theres a good chance your ancestors worshipped some form of horror from another dimension damning your soul and those of your children

When, long ago, the gods created Earth In Jove’s fair image Man was shaped at birth. The beasts for lesser parts were next designed; Yet were they too remote from humankind. To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man, Th’Olympian host conceiv’d a clever plan. A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure, Filled it with vice, and called the thing a friend of the family.

The tits in LoEG were fun... frogman rape is not.

The Courtyard was a fun little cthulhu story, and I liked the drug/language stuff, but neonomicon was just plain vile. It's like he doesn't realize which of his writings should be published and which belong in the ol' spank bank. Nigmaetcetera fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Dec 21, 2014 |

Of the complete biological inferiority of the negro there can be no question he has anatomical features consistently varying from those of other stocks, and always in the direction of the lower primates... Equally inferior and perhaps even more so is the Australian black stock, which differs widely from the real negro. In dealing with these two black races, there is only one sound attitude for any other race (be it white, Indian, Malay, Polynesian, or Mongolian) to take and that is to prevent admixture as completely and determinedly as it can be prevented, through the establishment of a colour line and the rigid forcing of all mixed offspring below that line.

The Rats in The Walls. Pretty good story! My audio Book version has it changed to "Nigsy". Another weird bit of period racism: the Dambusters film has a black dog called "friend of the family" in it, as I recall. e: quote:friend of the family died on 16 May 1943, the day before the famous "Dam Busters" raid, when he was hit by a car. He was buried at midnight as Gibson was leading the raid. "friend of the family" (Morse code: -. .. --. --. . .-. ) was the codeword Gibson used to confirm the breach of the Möhne Dam. friend of the family's grave is at Royal Air Force station Scampton, Lincolnshire.[1]

quote:friend of the family Man: A cat owned by the narrator. He could detect the spectral rats. When the story was reprinted in Zest magazine (1950s), this unfortunate name was changed to Black Tom. "unfortunate name"

Also I remember that Lovecraft married a jewess but bitched about jews all day erry day and whenever he'd walk around new york she said he would literally shake with fury constantly to the point where he had to move out to the country. then he self-owned by eating nothing but baked beans till he got gut cancer and died lmao.
