Horror Classics – HP Lovecraft
Before I start my little blurb about Howard Phillips Lovecraft I wanted to apologize for being absent and not completing out my week of author reviews last week. I had an issue with my shoulder and couldn’t type for a couple days, then was super backlogged. So, sorry.
So now, to H.P. Lovecraft. I know that he is one of the premier men of weird fiction (which includes horror, sci fi and fantasy), and Stephen King even said he is “the Twentieth Century’s greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale”. However, I have not found an H.P. Lovecraft story that really struck me as frightening or anything but… well… weird. However, I found an H.P. Lovecraft spin-off that I really enjoyed.
So, unfortunately I don’t have any recommendations on this one. He’s a very interesting writer and I’ve actually found his bio to be more interesting than the stories he wrote, but that’s just me.
