Absurd Alhazred posted: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. The only one that was seriously good was the Colour out of Space. Edit: But if you think Lovecraft was racist, consider the fact that Sax Rohmer was one of the most popular authors in the U.K. around the same time, a man who's works makes Gone with the Wind look like it was penned by MLK.

I like that one short story by Lovecraft where a dude and his uncle decide to investigate a haunted house and get scared so bad by the m-m-monster there that the uncle dies and the narrator goes crazy. Then in the last sentence it's revealed to be a big black middle finger aimed at the protagonist. THE HORROR! Also, while I really like the story The Rats in the Walls, it's kinda funny at the end how he slyly suggests that the Irish are barely better than cavemen in intelligence and sophistication.

Back to Joyce for a moment,Hedningen posted:I love stupid Swedish news. Decent translation, although I think "brakfis" is better translated as "a crashing fart" rather than a "stinking cheese". And the sole reason I know this offhand is due to translating Joyce's letters into Swedish for the world's dumbest avant-garde play ever conceived.

Mr Enderby posted:The verb "queering," as used in Queer Theory, means reinterpreting texts or historical periods through the lens of said theory. The gerund "queering", as used by wrestler and motivational speaker Ultimate Warrior, is a colloquial term for a performative act of homosexuality, presumable that of male sodomy. Don't think this needs context, really.

I'd love to play a proper Lovecraft mystery horror game, just so see how fast it would break down into spot-the-friend of the family Benny Hill, but alas. Game studios give far too much credit to that old cantankerous fart to be true really to his works.
