/lit/ - Literature

In fact, I liked it so much that I abridged it and generated a audiobook version of it, using that voice AI that's popular right now on /g/. Since I thought all the audiobook versions of it had shitty narration.

I feel second hand embarrassment over people who read Lovecraft for his Cthulhu stories.
I actually feel contempt for anyone who reads short fiction non-cronologically

Bump, every time I make a thread about Lovecraft it always gets buried... does this board have no soul?

You have to be 18 to post here.

You probably read Nietzsche unironically, fuck off

Just read it, pretty good but I couldnt put it above Mountains of Madness. I think he could have lingered a bit more on the music of the formless chaos and talked about what it meant but I guess horror writers like to leave it mysterious. The formless/chaotic abyss which is somehow tamed, put to order, is a kino motif, there is a nice section of Paradise Lost about something similar in between hell and heaven.

Ye it's good, not that I think coc is bad. Strange high house in the mist gives a similar vibe

>>21596748
Yes its pretty good, but i liked pickmans model more. The twist at the end, can you imagine the horror what you feel when you realize the picture is real?

The thing I think he should've spent just 1 extra sentence on is the explanation that Eric Zann is dead at the end, but still playing his viol with mechanical movements. It took me until the second read to pick up on the fact that he died.

>>21597978
Yeah I didnt even register that lol. Zann was kind of superfluous in any case, just a sort of intermediary between the protagonist and the music.

Also the street disappearing, does this mean it was swallowed up by the void, or is it just some anomalous area you have to find by some special means

>>21598007
I like to think of it as in it never existed, it was erased from existence altogether, like the Mandela effect. Gaslighting the main character into wondering whether he just made up the whole thing.
It was Zann writing about his experiences that caused the unknown thing to finally attack, and the wind swallowed up his manuscript, so there's a common theme, in that the unknown doesn't want to be known, and that trying to know it means certain death.

>>21598097
Hmm that is an interesting way to look at it.

Fpbp

>>21596748
That's a big candle

>>21596748
>The Music of Erich Zann is Lovecraft's best work
No. That would be The Quest of Iranon.

It's just really close to the camera anon

I think it's unfortunate that Call of Cthulhu is his most memed on work, because it's not that good. People just like the idea of the octopus monster god waiting under the sea.

>>21600713
It's as thick as table leg, anon.

Best Lovecraft story. best Lovecraft adaptation.

Only the top 1/5 of the table leg is visible, most of the table leg is off camera

Rats in the Walls is his best, the outsider a close runner up

Do you guys think lovecraft meant viol as in violin, and just didn't know what a viol was?
Imagine how non-kino the climax would be if Zann was just sitting playing a big viol, instead of moving around standing playing a violin-sized instrument.

>>21597440
Never heard of him. But I read Lovecraft when I was 15 and realized he was overrated. Give it a couple years to grow up and you’ll move on past this phase

Bump

Cool Air is really good too.
