The Statement of Randolph Carter, The Terrible Old Man, The Tree, The Cats of Ulthar, The Temple
POLAND MENTIONED [polska_gurom.gif]
I conclude that you cannot write a story set in ancient Greece and not have gay undertones in it, it's simply not scientifically possible.
The one thing Lovecraft and I can shake on is what should happen to people who abuse animals. Karma!
Karl = Stroheim lol, funniest protag so far

The Street, The Doom That Came to Sarnath
He just can't bloody help himself, can he? He has to throw something xenophobic into every tale or he's going to explode. The first time around it made me laugh with how blatant and stupid it was, but now I'm just sick of it. Over 1000 pages left btw
I've always headcanoned Bokrug as a Mosasaurus and I'm dying on that hill

The Transition of Juan Romero, The White Ship
Lovecraft borrows another existing deity into his mythos, but while everyone knows Dagon, Huitzilopotchli tends to go forgotten... Probably because it's harder to spell.
The White Ship always reminded me of The Neverending Story, I gotta re-read that again sometime (fav childhood book fr)
(Note to self: play Sona-Nyl of the Violet Shadows already)

Old Bugs
Painfully preachy in its moralism, that one, but that's precisely what it was meant to be, so good job ig?

Beyond the Wall of Sleep, Memory
Add hillbillys to the list of people Lovecraft Does Not Like. His more poetic works are really pretty, wish he did more of them.

A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson, Polaris
I distinctly remember that on first reading Polaris made me very sad. It still is a sad story, but I wasn't as depressed this time, even though I didn't remember much of what happened before re-reading.
The attitude towards the Inuit is awful in this one ofc, but what did you expect from Mr Xenophobic Paranoia over here...

The Beast in the Cave, The Alchemist, The Tomb, Dagon
For years I couldn't read Lovecraft due to some related trauma, I'm so glad to finally be able to do this again...

Alcorin
is starting
I've read most of it, but never ALL of it... Which is quite shameful, considering that it is also a cornerstone of my taste!! Time to hop to it (and with a slowly filling progress bar to keep me company this time)
