www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/This is a link to a page that hosts "the complete works" of HP Lovecraft. It's a nice place to go when you want to read up on that which can not be named, to even consider such thoughts would drive one made beyond description. And since some people have been playing CoC they might like it.

That's terrific. I didn't realize until just a little while ago that Lovecraft's stuff was in the public domain, which is great. I wonder if whatever family or heirs he has are kicking themselves over that, although I actually think the CoC RPG is probably the main reason his stuff is so well-known - it's certainly how I found out about it as a kid.

I had assumed Lovecraft was repopularized by the English comics invasion in the '80s. (Gaiman, Moore, etc.) Horror comics never really went out of fashion in England the way they did here, and Lovecraft was a huge influence on them. (Although, that would have been concurrent with the RPG, wouldn't it?)
Regardless, great resource.

My exposure to Lovecraft was from his short story collections that came out when I was in middle school. I was pulled in by the drawings of monsters on the covers, I later realized that he was a classic.
