Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:FUN FACT Lovecraft was also racist as gently caress, and the big horror twist ending in at least one of his stories was that the main character was half-black. Shinku ABOOKEN posted:wasn’t there an elder god called niggerath? he grew up as a sheltered and self-loathing nerd because of his weirdo mom who kept telling him he was a monster and other kids were afraid of him. later in life he ended up marrying a jewish ukrainian woman, which helped him realize he hadn't been raised very well. he died poor and in pain, much like the rest of his life. go on, read about him, it'll make it easier to understand why he sounded like such an rear end in a top hat. he's cool as a weird hosed up anomaly, in the sense that he created all these stories which had pretty interesting premises compared to other pulp science fiction of those years.

In August 1925 he wrote "The Horror at Red Hook" quote:Lovecraft referred to the area's immigrant population by referring to Red Hook as "a maze of hybrid squalor".[3] He spelled out his inspiration for "The Horror at Red Hook" in a letter written to fellow writer Clark Ashton Smith:
