I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft lately, in honor of Halloween. The penguin editions are fairly inexpensive and nicely annotated. The prose is a bit overwrought, but that was a popular style of writing back when Lovecraft was publishing. His tales aren't so scary as opposed to creepy--he is very much the master of atmosphere. So far, Rats in the Walls has been the scariest story among the bunch, although I adored Pickman's Model. Herbert West: Reanimator was hilarious, in an extremely wrong sort of way.
I'm finding a new passion for the short story form. More on this later, I suppose.
Was checking around and realized that I hadn't updated this thing in a few months. I mainly post on my LJ. The reason I set up this blog was so that I could have a place to share with family, but it seems no one in my family is interested in blogging. Which sucks muchly, being that I live a good distance away from any of my relatives.
Feh. Slackers!
