He wrote some odd stories sconfused
Good though shappy

Of the stories I've read so far (Night-Gaunts, Dagon, The Statement of Randolph Carter, The Doom That Came to Sarnath, The Cats of Ulthar, The Nameless City, and most of Herbert West - Reanimator), my favourite is Herbert West - Reanimator because it presents a completely different view on zombies than is seen in movies, TV, books, et al. After that, my favourite is The Cats of Ulthar.

I thought this was about the band. sconfused
*leaves thread after off-topicness* :laugh:

There's a band named after the author? sconfused

Yeah, a psychedelic band from the 60's.

I didn't really know much about this author, well I mean I'd heard his name and all but yeah...but I accidentally stumbled upon his Wikipedia page yesterday and I have to say that it got me interested sconfused
The whole "cosmic horror" thing sounds quite interesting
So I'm probably going to give a few of his books a shot once I'm done with the books I already have shappy

I bought the "Necronomicon: commemorative edition" a couple of days ago.
That's...one big book isn't it? :laugh:
I want to finish the book I'm reading before I really start, but I read one of the stories so far and it does seem interesting

I really liked The Cats of Ulthar and The Outsider shappy

So far my favourites are "The Nameless City" and "The Music of Erich Zann" :twisted:
I was a bit disappointed with Reanimator, I thought it would be one of my favourites but I just thought it was ok. The fact that he wrote it for a magazine, and that they required him to re-tell the previous chapters in the beginning of every new chapter annoyed me a bit.
I'm really liking a lot of the stories though
