- Reading: Full "Lovecraftian" novels?
So I've really started to enjoy Lovecraft. Read lots of his short novellas, and am currently reading a book of "Lovecraft inspired tales", either using his mythos or the same weird fiction genre. Also read The King In Yellow and enjoyed those.
However, I'm missing the feeling you get when reading a full novel or series of novels; the full immersion and fleshed-out-ness of it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for really good weird fiction horror/creepy novels a la Lovecraft? I've found myself finishing lots of these short stories and wishing that I had more of the same story to read.
I'm not sure if the weird fiction genre could even work properly as a full-fledged novel.

Thanks, they seem good :)
This is OK. It's not some literary masterpiece and it does lack the Lovecraftian language but it's basically a novel format of "Dreams In The Witch House" plus some other Lovecraftian elements. It's casual fun.
