That's the face of a man who writes non-fiction and nobody takes it as such. It's like he's about to break out into a horrified scream and, in the same fraction of a second, forcefully stopping himself from doing so. And that's his everyday expression. He knew that the negro would bring the Apocalypse, but nobody would listen. Unfathomable.

People thought he was being poetic when he talks about the 'encroaching dark that threatens to swallow mankind'.

Cthulhu wears a yankees cap, and pants around his knees.

I can't, but Lovecraft sure can.

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 gb2/pol/.

Don't get me wrong I think he's great author who knew his genre and how to manipulate inagination, but when you read just two things and don't delve into his other stuff, then you're sort of a pleb. And he actually wrote a couple of comedy plays too. Not all bleak

His fiction is a gateway to nihilism, pessimism, and existentialism. He is actually pretty realistic and his ideas are just fiction built on sober reality. The core of his philosophy is that the universe doesn't care about humans. This is the opposite of the common "special snowflake" centered popular fiction.

>>7986228
But the universe doesn't care about us.
The universe is careless.It cares about nobody.

Lovecraft is the Tolkien of horror. They both were men who singlehandedly created an entire mythos and one that is interesting to discover. Although, it may not be as great as the Greek or Norse myths but a single man creating something of this magnitude is not something to take lightly.
