MockingQuantum posted:I remember reading (possibly in here?) ages ago that some major work of weird fiction or cosmic horror had a reworking that should be read instead of the original. Anybody know what I'm talking about here? I feel like it was maybe a Clark Ashton Smith or William Hope Hodgson novella but I can't remember precisely. Probably talking about The Night Land

Ornamented Death posted:Hodgson didn't do that weird language thing in other stories; House on the Borderland and Boats of the Glen Carrig are written in perfectly normal English, for example. When even Lovecraft thinks the writing in The Night Land's original version is hard to read, it definitely becomes something in need of fixing for the average reader to be able to enjoy

I'm not sure if it really counts as "Cosmic Horror" but The Immortal Hulk has definitely been leaning in that direction at times, especially with the most recent issue

Chas McGill posted:I'll never forget King's foreword to the unabridged Stand where he writes a (long) defence of long-winded storytelling. I don't think he ever topped Carrie, personally, and it's one of his shortest books. I've got a copy of that one, and you could probably maim someone with it if you swung it hard enough or dropped it from a high enough point, though it's far from the largest book I own
