Yeah which is why I think “Shape of water” is a better Lovecraftian style of work than HP could ever achieve. He was a troubled scared man, who created an entire genre of horror. Hope we may never be as consumed by our fears as he was.

Ooh that’s a cool perspective! He was a scared scared man.
Yeah he was a homophobe and a racist for sure. But how much more than anyone else from his time. I love the themes he brings in but I think other people have done a good job of showing his ideas without the fear he had in him, Shape of water comes to mind and I think del Toro does a great job in showing those themes of the unknown and all.
There’s a video on his (HP) work by HBomberguy which I think is really good.
I didnt know about the reason for his generational curse… That’s pretty cool!
The man was a neurotic anxious mess who was scared of everything around him in his time and checked into the psych ward multiple times. I guess it shows in his writings
I’m upvoting the strikeout!!
