What does /lit/ think of him?
>>
Good. But only as good as you consider his prose

What do you think of this thread ?
>>
>>8253082
Good. He was also aware of racial differences and despised immigration which made his writing better. "Niggerman" is a great name for a cat.

Please elaborate more.

I don't think, I do.

How about other non-whites?

His story concepts and ideas range from great to meh, but his writing is very repetitive and not particularly engaging once you're used to all of his tropes.
There's a few times his weird/bad writing style helps him out though, stories that feature dialogues always end up really bizarre and off putting, but that helps the atmosphere.
He's okay

>>8253082
Interesting ideas mired by his need to use too many adjectives.

Thanks dubs. Check em. Also, how does one become a good writer?

maybe you should consult the hundreds of threads about him in the archive.

>turn every thread into "sjws, amirite?"
no

>>8253082
gives an eerie atmosphere, but sometime his prose is so bogged down and so callow, that it takes away from the ominousness. Reads like a bombastic 7th grader.

As Stephen King, a magnificent worldbuilder and storyteller, but godawful prose that only ages well because it is so alien to us (bad victorian prose).
