At the Mountains of Madness (not done)

Yooo my boi Lovecraft really is tying up loose ends huh first he brings Wilmarth back (Whisperer in Darkness) and now he mentiones the Nameless City in "Arabia Deserta" from The Nameless City... I'm still waiting for the Rats in the Walls to be mentioned...

At the Mountains of Madness (not done)

Ok I do appreciate how he tied in The Whisperer in Darkness by mentioning my boi Wilmarth

The Shadow over Innsmouth

Ok but WHAT IS THAT TWIST
The last five pages or so just gave the preceding events a whole new layer. What did the Innsmouth people already know? What'd they do if they got him?
Crazy twists

The Dreams in the Witch-house

These protagonists gotta stop relying too much on their reasoning and start believing the signs. "Oh, I have a mysterious rat bat that bloodied my whole arm in my sleep but the sheets are clean, huh, how peculiar, oh well"
PLEASE man are you slow?
Although the evil is defeated here, you know the black figure still lurks as does Azathoth and all that chaos so is it really?

The Whisperer in Darkness

The storytelling just keeps getting better ohmigosh
But like seriously, when someone suddenly changes personality opinions and all that do NOT go into the ancient alien crab infested forest alone

The Dunwich Horror

Cthulhu may be better know in today's day and age, but the Dunwich Horror is where Lovecraft really stepped up his narratological game. Great plotline and story arc

The Call of Cthulhu

Squiddy boi

The Festival

"Oh we have to wait huh, sure, guess I'll just READ THE MF NECRONOMICON" bro some of these guys just WANT to lose it i'm telling you

The Nameless City
Archaeologists beware: do NOT I repeat do NOT go explore antediluvian cursed cities on your own (can't believe i even have to say this)

The Picture in the House

The ol'man is just wacky, can appreciate him
That drop from the ceiling is sus tho, what was my boi doing before coming down huh? Maybe the same thing that was in the book?

The Rats in the Walls
Yes, that's the name of the story.
Great intro to Lovecraft, clear narrator though he might be insane (the daemon rats behind the padding in this room [...] the rats they can never hear; the rats, the rats in the walls.)
The narrator's descend into madness is very good, right environment and "going back in time" by speaking older english till latin and unga bunga ("Ungl unl ... rrhl ... chchch)

Bro don't wanna be a lawyer because he'd be almost thirty years old before making his mark on the world.

Alexander conquered the known world at 32

Caesar cried at his statue as he was one year older and had not yet achieved anything of worth

I know more context now and it seems my previous comment was correct: bro was NOT the child prodigy of poetry

" If all that I would want to do
would be to sit and talk to you...
would you listen?

-M McC, age twelve"

NAH FAM ain't no way bruv was poetic like that when he wuz 12 cuz fam i wuz barely literate by then

Alright so this happens when you pick random books from the library; apparently this is some actor's memoirs or smth (curious to see if it is any good)


also, "how to recognize when a no might actually be a yes" is kinda sus

"Here in this travellers' room, in this nation of chronic travellers and becomers, The Teachings of Buddha has the same note of disregarded truth as the health warning on an emptied pack of cigarettes."

fire bro

"In each campaign, the divine plan for America was seen through a glass, and darkly." I GOT THAT REFERENCE thanks Buelens thanks Am Lit this is neat

A lot of boat metaphors and sailing through 'murica

Hoe literair: "Concha de su madre, maldecido, hijo de puta."
Deze zin is goud

Verder onderzoek doen naar de moord op Palomino? NAH. Stalking & bathing ladies begluren, hell yeah

Lady balming the cat like the cat is pure evil while it's just a lil innocent kitty made me sad

AIN'T NO WAY SHE BOUGHT A COOK BOOK BY MARCO PIERRE WHITE

I ATE AT THAT GUY'S RESTAURANT THIS VAYCAY ONLY A FEW WEEKS AGO

MARCO MY MANNN

Cabrón parece que todo sea conectado
Also: THEY SAID THE THINGGG "Detrás de la lluvia viene el aire purificado" yesyess

I like how there are small poems at the beginning of each chapter, because this is pretty:

Existió una naranja,
pequeña como el mundo de tus ojos.
Fui incapaz de comerla
y la devolví al árbol nuevamente
por no verla morir entre mis manos.

what the fuck.

>Auto "crasht" terwijl bro niet achter stuur zit
>redding komt
>"Je ne suis pas coupable"
is deze guy dense of wat?

O jee blijkbaar nam ik twee Hemmerechtsen van de plank in de bib.... Hopelijk is dit beter dan "Alles verandert"

"fucked temporarily, fucked for the life span of everyone now living, fucked forever hence, or fucked from the get-go"

i swear if this guy says "Paradoxically" one more time i'm gonna lose it
