Fun fact though: the reason for all the fluff back then is that they paid by the word.

Nowadays, He probably would have to write like you prescribe anyway because now profit is measured by views and ad revenue.

So every writer has to compete with the human attention span for money.

Lovecraft would make a mint today, clickbait about race relations are super big

I wanna read that book.

Even if it was real, it's mentioned in the stories that the only translations that exist are in latin or greek, or the original arabic text.

So, how would the guy react if he saw Dagon on that desolate island?

That story didnt have Dagon in it, it had a STATUE of Dagon, with some weird fish guy worshipping it

Oh yeah I forgot about that. It's been a while I read the story. But how would he react to the giant fish dude then? XD

He wouldnt have run into him because he wouldnt have been on a ship in the middle of goddamn WW1

hahahaha, yeah that is true XDD

Hah, someone who uses their brain, what a concept.

Oh look, reading this book said it'll drive you insane *slaps book onto ground and sets it on fire* Problem solved

Apparently everyone is too inbred to think of that. But then again, Lovecraft apparently thought that everyone who wasnt anglo-saxon was inbred.

Wait..are you talking about the Necronomicon or the Bible....because....ya know....stuff!
Also the Quran.

(Lovecraft had a long correspondence with Robert E Howard, in fact they critiqued each other stories and borrowed ideas and stuff from each other..and they never met face to face.
Shame that.)

You should come visit Innsmouth sometime. I hear it's a lovely place, right here in the states, Massachusetts to be exact. And I KNOW that most of the people there don't look like how they're described in the stories.





most of them...some.....a few......don't come over!

You can actually buy digital replicas of Lovecrafts correspondence, but they're crazy expensive for some reason

Cool.
I'll have to check into that..and save up my coins for them.
Thanks.

Like I said on the Stephen King comic, Covid has taught us.....
