    Default Lots of Lovecraft Society (LOLS)

    Love Lovecraft? Then join LOLS, where likeminded Orgahs can gather and discuss everything from how to pronounce Cthulu, to what colour the Color Out of Space is, through to how much Lovecraft's non-horror fantasy sucks.

    I only just got the "NECRONOMICON: Best Wierd Tales of H. P. Lovecraft" t'other day. I aim to read it once I'm done with Pratchett. Not sure how many of his works are in there, though.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Mountains of Madness. Brilliant book.

    Surprised it hasn't been adapted for a big budget film. It has a suitable storyline, all the better if you keep it in the 1930's.

    A lot of his short stories would make excellent one episode BBC adaptions

    Kinda surprised it hasn't been done to death. Lovecraft is America's best known writer after all. As far as I know only 'The lurking fear' had a (very lose) movie adaptation. Especially The color from outer space would be great movie-material.
