Last week, part 1 of Mike & Scott’s chat started with Lovecraft’s life including his bigotry, relationships & death, before talking about Lovecraft’s writing style, the realm of Lovecraftian horror that he created including ancient beings like Cthulu, what happened to his works after he died, so go back and listen to that if you haven’t already!
Some recommendations for starting Lovecraft are; Dagon, From Beyond, The Hound, Rats In The Walls, Horror At Red Hook, Herbert West: Reanimator & The Tomb – Scott recommended picking up the Wordsworth collection called Haunter Of The Dark as a starting point.
S. T. Joshi’s Lovecraft biographies are ones to pick up if you want to know even more about Lovecraft!
