"The Whisperer in Darkness" is by far my favorite Lovecraft story. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is also making an independent movie version of the work.

One of the first and most influential horror/sci-fi writers I was introduced to at a young age.

if you look online there are websites that compile all (or most) of the stories he wrote, at least the bigger ones. he's a completely influential writer and his stories grasp an atmosphere that few others do. his pantheon is probably my favorite of any sort of mythologic background.

at the mountains of madness
call of the cthulu
dunwich horror
from beyond

theres so many.

i wish film makers could some how capture his words in not a lame way like pretty much every fucking movie that they have made. the only ones that were any good were re animator and from beyond.

I worship Lovecraft.

It's rather odd that you can not find any high budget movie adaption of any of his stories, though. At the Mountains of Madness, for instance. Why can't there be a decent movie adaption? Lovecrafts' stories demand to be screened in 16:9 and dolby digital, I'd say.

Guillermo del Toro is working on "Mountains of Madness," and it's rumored to be well past the point of hypothetical now (though not yet filming, either). James Cameron is backing it, I heard. So you may get your wish.

I remember reading Erich Zann for the first time and it really tripped me out. I don't remember being so excited while reading a story before that. It all clicked form then on.

Michel Houellebecq's book (its really just a long essay) is actually quite good. its more of a psychological analysis than a literary critisism, but its worth tracking down.

Ligotti is one of my favorite writers, I have everything he's published except "Conspiracy against the human race". I'd go so far as to say that he's the best living horror author (neck and neck between him and Ramsay Campbell though). I speculate that while his paranoid and anxious style is really appealing to me personally its not for everyone and that a lot of people who might go into it expecting tentacles and whatnot will be disappointed.

HPL has been one of my favorite authors for 20 years now. His Great Old Ones and Elder Gods (especially Yog Sothoth & Nyarlathotep) are some of the greatest creations in the history of fantastic literature. His "dream cycle" stories (the "Silver Key" tales, "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath", etc.) are also quite original and profound, although not terror-inducing the way "The Rats in the Walls" or "Dreams in the Witch-House" may be.

Lovecraft is boring shit for basement World of Warcraft nerds, however I do appreciate the influence he had on a load of bands I like.

Houellebecq is infinitely superior.
