"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown" -Howard Phillips Lovecraft-
Join and discuss the many "weird fiction" stories of this great writer, his life, and the influences on modern time he has had.
Herein we may also discuss the lives and works of horror writers who lived and wrote at around the same time as Lovecraft, like his acquaintances Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and August Derleth, or those who lived at an even earlier time, like Ambrose Bierce, Fitz-James O'Brien, or Edgar Allan Poe.
Rules: All VF rules apply. Get along with everybody; respect the staff; stay on topic; make your first post in the intro thread; don't post the same thing more than once; and don't post any videos, music players or other sound files that play without having to be turned on, or any pictures that are more than 500 pixels wide. It's the staff's job to welcome new members, okay? And whatever your issues with someone might be and however valid they are, don't try turning this cult into a battleground. Take it to PM. The Music subforum is just for songs inspired by Lovecraft's works. Songs inspired by Robert E. Howard, Edgar Allan Poe or other authors go in the Music--Other Writers subforum.
