i love lovecraftian horror, but not lovecraft the author. aside from being a massive racist, literally everyone who handles his mythos in games and stories have done so far better than he ever could, and his mediocre writings and stories were given far more credit simply from from piggy backing on his ideas, when really the only thing he shouldve been praised for was laying down the bare-bones minimum concept for everyone else to work with who did it 100x better. its a pretty funny phenomenon. anyway im glad hes dead
