One of my favorite authors and the creator of the Cthulhu mythos. Things such as the Reaper from Mass Effect, Necron, Nids, and Chaos Daemons from 40k, and countless other things all can be traced back to this wonderful man.

This man created Cthulhu, Azathoth, Dagon, and other gods and eldtritch abominations.

Love him.
[spoiler=Oh, and this song is not based on him in any way, ignore the name:][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5AzuvIz9wM[/media][/spoiler]

Quite frankly, I love the impact he had on the fiction world, best 20th century writer in my honest opinion. From what I read at least.

Pretty much all around fantastic author, especially for me, since I adore horror fiction. I even went and bought the complete collection of all his fiction from Barnes and Noble.

(The other books were Christmas gifts.)[/spoiler]

Lovecraft and Stephen King are pretty much my two favorites, and Stephen King has claimed before that he was inspired by Lovecraft for his own writing. Hell, a lot of his stuff that I've read has had influence over some aspects of my own writing.

God I love that publication series. I have a different incomplete H.P. Lovecraft collection cause it was cheaper, but I do own that same Hemingway book, and my little sister actually has the Grimm's Fairy tales and Sherlock Holmes.

But yeah, you have good taste in literature.

1. You have good tastes, I like to think I have good taste as well what with having some Arthur Clarke, Stephen King, Jules Verne, Ben Bova, and H.G. Wells books.

2. The f*** bro, you necrobumped an old thread.

Two weeks ain't a necrobump in a section that is pretty much dead as hell. It wasn't even halfway down the first page.

 

In fact, two weeks has never been considered necrobumping unless the thread in question is somehow on like, the tenth page. A month is usually the point in time where it would be considered necrobumping.

 

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE

BITCH
