I started reading his works and while not badly written I find them uninspired and boring so far, in fact I stopped reading and felt no real desire to come back to it. OMG horrors beyond human imagination! It just gets repetitive after a while. Am I just ignorant?
Quite possibly they’re just not your thing. Agree the writing is not the best but for me it’s the world building and abstract nature of his horror that draw me in which at the time he wrote them were unique and I’d argue continue to be unique as so many people draw from his stories as a source of influence.
I strongly feel that the extending of and remixes of og lovecraft offer more than the creator’s work itself. @laser is right, it’s really… a product of it’s time.

I wish his books came in an edition with the originals and lightly edited versions of the originals that don’t have the casual racism.
Maybe you’re just not enough of a white supremacist to get it.
>uninspired
>lives in an age where horror culture has been greatly inspired by his works
Uninspired is definitely not the right word.

That would be inspiring though, not inspired
