lol, russian and slavs faces as round as melon.

rat-faces is about North-europeans

Sounds like a typical bitter virgin.

>marries a jew
topcuck

He also hated niggers.

I had never read a book of him
What do you recomend?

Dunno, but he wrote good stories.
And germans and spaniards and basically anyone who wasn't ANGLO blood.

Just read all of his stories. In book form they'd be about the size of a passport.

He lived in Brooklyn / Red Hook for a while. Those are the people he saw outside his house.

Lovecraft had an existential crisis when he found out one of his ancestors was Welsh instead of English.

He was a racist among racists.

He didn't mention Slavs, he mentioned Jews...

Ah, the good old un-PC times.

Imagine if he was born 100 years later. He'd write something like John Green probably.

>He found out he was welsh
That must of been quite embarrassing

Russian and Polish Jews as in Jews in Russia and Poland.

why was he so based?
if only he would have been about more open trying to find some inner light for guidance he probably would have released more books as well.

"Shadows over Innsmouth" is really good.

What's wrong with Welsh people?

Part Welsh, and I've come to terms that I'm also likely part sheep as well.

...

meanwhile, his fucking face

Mountain of Madness is brilliant

>Short brachycephalic South-Italians
almost non existent since the mediterranean type, like the nordic type, is dolicocephalic
brachicephalic peoples tend to dwell from northern Italy into central Europe and the balkans
did he ever leave his house?

He hated just about everyone.

The story with the deep-sea fish god-worshippers coming up and fucking the humans to create bastard offspring? It was meant to represent his hatred of crossbreeding.

They're strange hairy little people who live in holes in the ground

He was a very sickly person living in Brooklyn. He probably didn't.

He didn't hate spaniards actually. He was a British supremacist early on but eventually he warmed up all white races and began to only hate the true filth: niggers

They didn't allow their women to be raped by Germans. Apparently that's a bad thing

>Short brachycephallic South-Italians
>Dude Italians are not white lmao
What a retarded, Sicilians are whiter than him

> rat-faced half-Mongoloid Russian & Polish Jews

i wonder if stephen king had these same racial inspirations for graveyard shift

kek why couldnt he live to post on Sup Forums

Well, makes me glad my husband is northern Italian. There does seem to be a noticeable difference between northern and southern.

based

What do you guys think would have been his action if he had to live in this day and age?

a) being a total recluse, more than he ever did
b) go on a killing spree
c) suicide
d) stay reasonable but still just partake in this degenerate society regardless

>He didn't hate spaniards actually
You mean he did not hate them at any time, or that he accepted them later? Because I seem to recall that he used spanish characters in his stories in the same way he used niggers, i.e. dirty inbred race that indicates trouble.

Lovecraft was a bit nuts with his racism, more so than Sup Forums even, hell he didn't like people from other parts of New England.

Anglo blood

>brachycephalic
Now that's some classic shitposting. Who would use this word to describe jews nowadays? Truly he was a higher level wizard than all of us

>Lovecraft was a bit nuts with his racism

that racism was creative fuel for him to create merman and Cthulhu.

I know a guy that looks exactly like H.P lovecraft

he kinda does. do people tell him that often?

im a Polish-Ukrainian slav, my jaw is pointy and my head square.

School shooter maybe. I don't think he would have made it to adult hood

Hes better with short stories. If you can find a collection of his shorts you are golden.

If you care to try the Cthulhu mythos first, grab either Shadow Of Innsmouth or At The Mountains of Madness.

Build the wall and let all the lovecraft fans from Mehico in

>virgin

he was fucking a jew and made her work to support him. Absolute savage living the dream.

I used to live a few blocks away from the apartment he stayed in at Brooklyn Heights. He was absolutely disgusted by the "melting pot" he witnessed on the streets of the city. Read his short story "He" for a summation of his thoughts on NYC as he experienced it.

His racism seems like it was a product of his Aspergers disorder.

>Lovecraft had an existential crisis when he found out one of his ancestors was Welsh instead of English.

He had another mental break down when he found out his math skill wouldn't allow him to become what he always wanted to be, an Astronomer.

Yes

the rats in the walls.

They were more about fear of the unknown. But it did inspire all the deformed and inbred people in his stories.

They're all short stories and in the public domain, so they're really accessible. At The Mountains Of Madness is good.

I also really like The Haunter Of The Dark.

H.P. Lovecraft was INCREDIBLY racist. Like, he was racist not against niggers, spics, asians and indians, but also against most white people if they were non-anglo.

From Herbert West:
>The match had been between Kid O’Brien—a lubberly and now quaking youth with a most un-Hibernian hooked nose—and Buck Robinson, “The Harlem Smoke”. The negro had been knocked out, and a moment’s examination shewed us that he would permanently remain so. He was a loathsome, gorilla-like thing, with abnormally long arms which I could not help calling fore legs, and a face that conjured up thoughts of unspeakable Congo secrets and tom-tom poundings under an eerie moon. The body must have looked even worse in life—but the world holds many ugly things.

Later in the story they try to use the reanimation serum on the black guy's body, but it doesn't work because it only works on humans. (the implication being that black people aren't even human.)

From Rats in the Walls:

>As I have said, I moved in on July 16, 1923. My household consisted of seven negros and nine cats, of which latter species I am particularly fond. My eldest cat, “Nigger-Man”, was seven years old

HP Lovecraft was so incredibly racist that it's honestly hilarious. Too bad later in life he married a jew and stopped being racist.

He meant that short brachycephalic South-Italians & rat-faced half-Mongoloid Russian & Polish Jews, & all that are cursed scum

The Outsider

>The World Fantasy award trophy will no longer be modelled on HP Lovecraft, it has been announced, following a campaign last year that called the author out as an “avowed racist” with “hideous opinions”.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse aka Mclovin, this must be his great grandfather

That you build wall

kek

kek he looks this guy too

Yep, the SJWs have fully infiltrated the SF/fantasy field and are busy purging everyone guilty of Wrongthink even if they've been dead for 79 years.

his virulent xenophobia was partially a product of the times he lived in and even moreso a projection of his insecurities as a shut down autist who hasnt lost virginity until 40

>Those comments

...

He was also a sheltered rich boy who lost his dad young and was afterwards constantly molested and beaten by his mother.

FILTHY ANGLO BLOOD

>molested and beaten by his mother
Sounds like a dream

All of which adds to the irony since Lovecraft hated Germans

We should start having yearly Sup Forums awards. I thinking the Lovecraft Award for Best Description of a Negro could be on category

fucking top kek

>dreaming about Trump way before he even was conceived

Full quote:
>In the matter of politics—I don’t go much with the younger crowd. I’m more interested in keeping the present 300-year-old culture-germ in America unharmed, than in trying out any experiments in “social justice”. Smith, to my mind, is a direct exponent of the newer-immigration element—the decadent & unassimilable hordes from Southern Europe & the East whose presence in large numbers is a direct & profound menace to the continued growth of the Nordic-American nation we know. Some people may like the idea of a mongrel America like the late Roman Empire, but I for one prefer to die in the same America that I was born in. Therefore, I’m against any candidate who talks of letting down the bars to stunted brachycephalic South-Italians & rat-faced half-Mongoloid Russian & Polish Jews, & all that cursed scum! You in the Middle West can’t conceive of the extent of the menace. You ought to see a typical Eastern city crowd—swart, aberrant physiognomies, & gestures & jabbering born of alien instincts.

Was Anglo peoole from 1800 that racist or Lovecraft was actually the most racist man ever alive?

His father went insane and died in an asylum, his mother was overprotective and tried to shelter him from the world, she wasn't abusive though. She later went insane as well. Lovecraft's fear of insanity was quite clear in his writing.

>be reading rats in the walls
>mc's cat is called nigger man
>mfw

im going to suggest some not so common ones besides the usual

in the walls of eryx (sci fi! )
the quest of iranon (personal fav)

just youtube the audiobooks if u r lazy

Not everyone was that racist, but it was socially acceptable to be as racist as Lovecraft was. He was a bit extreme for the time because he hated most Europeans as well as different races in his earlier years.

>watching The Dam Busters
>their dog is called Nigger

anglos are incredibly racist

Mclovin is based as fuck

Lovecraft was a Sup Forumslack at its full extent.

All of them.

Personall favorite is "shadow over innsmouth"

he's a jew

also i think HP looks like toby mcguire and adolf hitler

Which, once again, added to the irony since Anglos are such an inbred, ugly race.

Autist tier fan fictionesque writing

you can find better stuff in the kindle free section these days lmao

That's pretty good.
Too bad he died just as WW2 was starting, wanted to see what he had to say about our friend Adolf.

he seems derivative because practically all horror writing that came later was a rip off of his style. I agree that he's a terrible writer sometimes, though. The stories are excellent but he writes with awkward overly embellished phrasing. It's like he thinks using more and bigger adjectives makes him look smarter

I really enjoy lovecraft's work but he would think I'm subhuman because I am descended from the irish. I like British people a lot and many Irish immigrants act like savages I have to admit.

He's an amazing writer, it only shows in his letters and poems though, otherwise he overuses certain words like eldrich etc.

The music of erich zahnn was genius.

He didn't really stop, just toned it down some. He was more nativist than racist anyway. He viewed his Jew wife as acceptable for marriage because she was assimilated into American culture.

It fell flat at the end, amazing atmosphere and build up for a bit of an anti-climax.

He looks an awful lot like Adam Lanza.

Is he a beta orbiter of Dani Daniels?

Anytime you see the OP quote a statement then add "What did he mean by this?" remember to sage the thread into the ground.

>"I suck cocks like there's no tomorrow"
What did you mean by this?

He must have been pissed

>Anytime you see the OP quote a statement then add "What did he mean by this?" remember to sage the thread into the ground.
what did he mean by this?

Lovecraft rejected the American conservatism for being too liberal on immigrants and too embroiled with the various churches. He was an open antisemite yet he married a Jew. A fedora-tipper to the n'th degree, yet he loathed atheists.

Call it wishful thinking, but I think Lovecraft would have thumbed his nose at the Nazis, if he could have lived to see the day :(

I know it sounds rather pathetic, but I would give almost anything to spend a few hours with H.P.

Lovecraft is my obsession.

potato nigger

Nah. You're just a nerd

Lovecraft was rather found of the Irish, He put a Paddy as the protagonist in the Horror at Red Hook.

Malone, (the hero) has all the intellect of an Anglo-Saxon with the eldritch far sight of his aeon shadowed Irish druid ancestors.

Fun fact: I'm laid over in ireland right now, furiously attacking my iphone's screen from some horrid airport. . .and it's 90% black people? WTF Ireland?

Nope, just a Beaner on a business trip. Faggot.

No u

Reminder that lovecraft went back on most of the things he said and became more liberal as he aged.
>I used to be a hide-bound Tory simply for traditional and antiquarian reasons—and because I had never done any real thinking on civics and industry and the future. The depression—and its concomitant publicisation of industrial, financial, and governmental problems—jolted me out of my lethargy and led me to reëxamine the facts of history in the light of unsentimental scientific analysis; and it was not long before I realised what an ass I had been. The liberals at whom I used to laugh were the ones who were right—for they were living in the present while I had been living in the past. They had been using science while I had been using romantic antiquarianism. At last I began to recognise something of the way in which capitalism works—always piling up concentrated wealth and impoverishing the bulk of the population until the strain becomes so intolerable as to force artificial reform.

King was inspired by Lovecraft, so it's possible
