Any other trannies like lovecraft?

any other trannies like lovecraft?
how does cosmic horror make you feel?
whats your favourite story?
do you prefer explicit entities or vague concepts?

Will you read me horrors beyond my comprehension before bed?

i like lovecraft and cosmic horror in general.
doesn't really scare me though. i like it not because incomprehensible horror scary, but because incomprehensible horror cool.

ive always wanted to get into lovecraft cause its rly cool but idk where to start :c

oh and my fave lovecraft story is cool air.
it's such a cool look into the man's mind too. like who the fuck would find air conditioning evil and frightening

I say start with call of Cthulhu, basic bitch answer I know but if you can get into his way of writing you'll be coming back for more

Reading The Shadow over Innsmouth while staying in coastal New England is next level cozy

fucked up AI boymoder hands are more horrific than any lovecraft story

Dagon
The call of cthulhu
Nyarlothatep
The lost city
The festival
At the mountains of madness

He was such a weird and raggedy individual
frightened of absolute nonsense and mind degraded by, likely syphilus sadly.

as an Australian I can assure you
Air-conditioning is the least frightening thing fathomable

Ran a call of cthulhu campaign once for my friends. I'd say my fav story from him is the mountains of madness one. I like vague concepts more, I find that when it's too much specified then it's no longer scary. I like the feeling of being a small and weak human who's at the mercy of the arbitrary will of incomprehensible more powerful beings.

At the mountains of madness is my favorite.
esp because you can trace it to; who goes there, the thing from outer space, and my favorite movie of all time John Carpenter's The Thing.

The story of exploration and finding a strange alien city behind the tallest towering mountains seen on earth. The realization we weren't here first. It's encapsulating...

dude was an autist that got munchausen by proxied by his insane aunt - he actually turned into a cool dude after he got his freedom but that was at the end of his life

I love the Thing too... It's just full of wonderful despair and hopelessness...

based anon has based taste
Fantastic film with an ending showing only hopelessness against an alien threat...

True tho, true

New sequel to the Area X trilogy just dropped btw - books are way better than the shit movie, if you liked The Colour Out of Space you'll probs like the books

waow... can we get married

always this but never trannies who like thomas ligotti

because ligotti is boring as fuck and Anon Babble has garbage taste

I like the shadow out of time best. Such a unique idea. I guess that's an explicit entity

thnks

I feel like Ligotti just discards the pulpness of the genre and tries to lay it down a little too thin and sublime. I personally find the concept of The Absence far less imposing or scary than Nyarlathotep. The Absence is also a little too rationalized, it just makes too much sense for it to be the way it is as an agent of erosion. It's kind of almost too human to ascribe some level of sentience to entropy. Meanwhile Lovecrafts gods can be described in absurdities

God of Center

God of Everywhere Except Center

God of Unrestricted Creation

God of the Soul of the Gods

, making them thus more alien.
In the Mouth of Madness is honestly a cooler movie than the thing IMO. A bit meta but for its time it's impressive and the pay off/revelation is great

Not trans, but I like people who like cats.

awww, what's his cat's name??

we wouldn't have his groundbreaking oeuvre if HRT had been an option for her

absolutely, i loved reading a huge compilation book of all his stories when i was a kid.

favorite because it's funny: The Alchemist
favorite more serious short story: The Terrible Old Man
Favorite Longer Story: At the Mountains of Madness

The Nameless City and Hypnos are also favorites of mine.

look up Horror Babble on YT, he narrates every HPL story and it's very comfy to listen in bed

one of my friends is a direct descendant of hp lovecraft's grandma
