Alan Moore is mostly up his own rear end as of late, but there's a scene in one of the recent League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics where H P Lovecraft runs across some alien eggs and is all "ah, yes, these must be negro eggs." I thought it was pretty funny.

Bertrand Hustle posted:I think the current thinking with Lovecraft is that his racism was a product of his crazy overprotective mother sheltering him from the outside world and that he kind of got over it in later years and actually married a Jewish woman. Considering that he considered his wife "well assimilated", that she had to remind him that she was in fact jewish whenever he launched a tirade against jews and that antisemitism was one of the reason why she divorced him I'm not so sure about that.

The artist is Phil Jimenez which I keep mixing up with Juan Gimenez (their surnames are kinda similar I guess) and while Gimenez is a great artist Jimenez is not. GIS confirms that these are not the same art style, nope.

Yeah so Lovecraft was racist as gently caress, I'll admit I was wrong about that. I still maintain that his ideas of unspeakable horrors from beyond the stars and forbidden knowledge that would break the minds of mortal men were good, even if the execution was often less "things man was not meant to know" and more "unspeakable Congo secrets and savage negro sorceries".

Bertrand Hustle posted:Yeah so Lovecraft was racist as gently caress, I'll admit I was wrong about that. Mountains of Madness is very good, and some of his short stories are decent, but past that the quality of his writing gets really hit or miss really fast. He wasn't the first guy to touch on those themes, but he did a good job of bringing the mythology together. Like was posted before, he wasn't a good writer and the stories themselves were not very good either, but the world around it was very intriguing.

I think that 90% of Lovecraft's recent popularity is because his works are public domain and he encouraged his author friends to write about his monsters while he was still alive.

Mountains of Madness had too much foreshadowing; and then the horror elements were way less horror and more "ooh, that's interesting". As in, this could have been better written calmly as sci fi, imo.

my favorite detail about lovecraft was that he wrote a letter a few months before he died, in which he despairs about his closeminded racism for the gooniest goddamned reason: he didn't bother to read their mythology. He's on his deathbed and his last words are the equivalent of someone realizing that perhaps, anime is good?

I keep imagining jazz coming on the radio when Lovecraft was hanging out with people and them all hiding before the inevitable rant.
