I welcome myself to the new Horror Board! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

So. A topic to start with: What's your opinion about H.P. Lovecraft's work? Chtulhu, Dreamlands, etc...

I've only read one of H. P Lovecraft's books, and that must have been more than 20 years ago. I can't even remember the title now, or much of what it was about!

I still have to get Best of H.P. Lovecraft : Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre back from a friend. Some great stuff in it! Nothing like reading a Lovecraft story in the middle of the night in a thunderstorm while listening to Ozzy's older stuff.... nice and creepy!

I greatly enjoy Lovecraft, expecially all of his Cthulhu Mythos stuff, I thought the Dreamlands were still good, but personally, I would take Great Cthulhu over Randolph Carter any day.

My favorite was "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath"

I couldn`t get enough Lovecraft when I was young, although his works don`t age well. He is, however, one of the most important influences on horror writing of the 20th century, and as such all respect to the man.

I think my favourite Lovecraft stories are the ones set in Innsmouth.

H.P. Lovecraft is probably the horror author who's works I have read the most. I became interested because my brothers used to play a "Call of Cthulu" roll playing game! I watched them play one time and I thought I might like to read "The Call of Cthulu" . So I did!

Anyway, I also really liked "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath". I think my favorite story is "The Dunwich Horror".

H.P. Lovecraft is one of the reasons that my BF and I had such a great first date and are still together 2 years later. A lot of scotch drinking helped, too!

My favorites of his are "Whisperer in Darkness" and of course "Call of Cthulhu." He had his faults, but he was seminal to the genre.
