I used to be a fan of Ligotti but he’s admitted he doesn’t even read novels. He says he just watches television.

>>24776699
I got my copy. What story should I start with?

Nasty stuff
Surprisingly hard to find as well

Which secondary literature is best to learn about Lovecraft?

>>24776769
I wonder what Dostoyevskys favorite show was

>>24776777
It's hilarious how a jeet is nominally Lovecraft's biggest and most publicly visible fan.

>>24776857
Joshi's a very nice man and knowledgeable. Why disparage him?

>>24776877
Well Lovecraft was quite disparaging of Indians, is what I'm saying...

>>24776880
He also dedicated a lot of his works to Sarnath. He even has a story about "Hindoos". His racist beliefs barely figured into his creative work.

>>24776889
You don't know what you're talking about.

>>24776891
I've read Lovecraft's entire corpus. Outside of Red Hook, there is barely any racist content in Lovecraft's stories or poems. His letters are where the racism surfaces.

>>24776932
Huh. What about Herbert West: Reanimator?

>>24776938
Is that the only other story of his you have read? It's not even an important work. It was written as a joke for a comedy zine.

>>24776956
Very nice, anon.

>>24776932
"He", "The Terrible Old Man", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", "Medusa's Coil", "On the Creation of N*****s", "New-England Fallen", "The Call of Cthulhu", and "The Street" all have obvious racist themes and/or remarks (not even mentioning the cat in "The Rats in the Walls"), on top of the already mentioned "The Horror at Red Hook" and "Herbert West: Reanimator".

Angela Carter's 'The Bloody Chamber' retelling of fairy and folk tales, particularly The Company of Wolves

>>24778022
Seconding The Bloody Chamber, it's a fantastic collection.

>>24777718
He’s right tho. The “racism” in Lovecraft work is largely overblown and exaggerated by progressives or lefties with an agenda. If you actually read other writers of his era (or were familiar with media and society of the 20s/30s) you’d know that his views were fairly normal. Remember in ww2 American soldiers were surveyed and a majority were more comfortable with losing the war than ending segregation. George Wallace ran on an explicitly racial platform in 1968! (Decades after Lovecraft death) and he did better than any other third party candidate since.

Anyone else love Conjure Wife?

>>24776795
Thank you

>>24778418
You're missing the point. It's not that it's not overblown, but it is there, whereas the other anon said there's virtually none.
Anyways, this is a very trite and pedantic thing to quibble over, so I'm done talking about it.

The Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stuff is a lot of fun. In terms of his other horror writing I love his short story The Smoke Ghost.

It makes it a better read, more gritty more real. He is the undisputed master of horror GOAT.

I need you help /hfg/. I'm looking for some good horror fiction that features romantic/sexual relationships of a disturbing or transgressive nature. Preferably not erotica or romance. I've already read and looking for more stuff like:

>Interview with the Vampire
>Let the Right One In
>The Haar
>The Exorcist
>The Bloody Chamber
>Clive Barker's work
>Poppy Z Brite's work

where do I go from here?

The works of Tanith Lee.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit

>>24780489
Undeniably true.
>>24778702
Read that one already. Very mid imo. I'll check out the Nyctalops Trilogy like >>24776760 suggested, thanks.
I'm thinking I might read Michelle Remembers sometime very soon, but idk yet. I wanna finish Lovecraft's Dream Cycle first.

Finished The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell yesterday and it was just okay. Probably Evenson's weakest collection, there weren't any stand out stories for me like in Windeye or A Collapse of Horses.

What's some good sci-fi horror that's more on the hard SF side and less on the soft/weird side, similar perhaps to I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?
Also, opinions on the book Ubik by Philip K. Dick? In my opinion it fits neatly into the weird fiction category, and is an unlikely existential horror novel. It's honestly terrifying, on a certain intellectual level.

>>24782034
Ubik, and PKD in general, is great. If you like that kind of existential terror, then Three Stigmata and Flow My Tears by him hit the same highs.

>>24782052
I know man, lol. Still need to read VALIS someday. I actually purchased a copy of picrel recently for not too too bad a price, so maybe I'll read it soon.

>>24782034
Blood Music by Greg Bear
The Legacy of Heorot, by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Steven Barnes
Blindsight by Peter Watts

>>24782109
I've heard Blindsight is good, but it seems so...self-published, if that makes any sense.

Quitters Inc is the only Stephen King I’ve genuinely enjoyed

So I'm reading Lovecraft's Dream Cycle right now right. Oftentimes the imagery makes me think of this Cathedral album in particular, for some reason.

I made this a few years back as my horror reading list. Pretty good picks as it turns out.

>>24781899
84%, I haven't read Fledgling or most contemporary novels mentioned in the quiz.

>>24782401
Which ones have you read since then? What'd you think of them?

>>24782401
Made a quick one. What do you think?

What are some good examples of horror poetry?

>>24783339
I don't know much about this at all, but I've heard that Clark Ashton Smith is pretty good with horror poetry.

>>24776699
Ligotti sucks and I will die on this hill.

>>24779578
Smoke Ghost

>>24782414
Fledgling is weird. I wouldn't call it good and recommend it, but it had some off the wall loli vampire episodes, which is apparently ok because woman author.
Wasp Factory was a bit too tryhard.

The big standouts for me were The Exorcist, Blatty's ability to draw out the reveal works even when you've seen the movie. He invests so much in making the reactions to the problem natural, that they try all the sane solutions first, before reaching the insane ones, and even then covering it all with layers of doubt, which is of course the main point of the antagonist.
And also Blackwater, which reads like a long familial saga, and isn't so much horrific as consistently unsettling. You're so close to the horror's POV in the story, without really learning all that much about it. It doesn't neatly fit into something you've read before in format or as a creature feature so it remained creepy.

Not sure if it counts but I’ve been reading my wife a chapter of A Night In The Lonesome October by Zelazny every day this month and it is so cozy bros

>>24783435
I've read The Wasp Factory, but it was a long time ago.
The Exorcist is fantastic, like you say. I haven't read Blackwater, but I did read The Elementals, which was also great.

This might be a good place to ask.
Does anyone know the name of this American horror/dark writer?
She was white, dark hair, goth, probably lesbian or gender fluid something like that.
I remember there's a picture of her sitting next to a dinosaur statue.
She never made it into the mainstream, but she was more "popular" in the 2000s.

>>24783497
That's Caitlín R. Kiernan.

thank you, any book in particular I should start with?

>>24783729
Night's Master is a perfect introduction to her style, a great blend of fantasy, horror and erotiscism.
The Book of the Dammed is also another good one to start.

>>24783836
Ones written after 2000.

>>24783703
This but the opposite.

What else would I like if I liked Aickman's brand of subtle horror more than the "woahh it has like a million eyes and a billion teeth and omfg I'm going cuhrayzeee!" brand of horror that is popular nowadays?

>>24784679
For older, M.R. James, for newer, Reggie Oliver. You could also check out Walter de la Mare for another older author, but I found his prose dry and difficult to get through.

>>24784679
Dark Gods by T.E.D. Klein
Dark Companions by Ramsey Campbell
Songs of a Dead Dreamer by Thomas Ligotti

>>24776932
It's not racist in content but in essence. "Evil aliens invading" and "ancestral curses" are just niggers invading and niggers passing on their shit genetics.

I finished Vampire Hunter D vol 2 Raiser of Gales. It was alright. I think I liked the first one more. This was set in a small rural town in the Frontier again but didn't go as much into the world as history as vol 1.
I will move on now to Demon Deathchase, it is the one the Bloodlust movie is based on. After I probably will stop the series there and move to some other works after it.

>>24783703
I think we’ve gone down on scariness the last 20 years. A hesitation to offend doesn’t help. Adjusting for sensitivities and self censorship is killing the online space. But sure if you go back to Poe and Stoker it’s not exactly hair raising anymore, it’s so proper it’s almost prissy.
I guess that makes the peak horror era somewhere between the 50s to 90s. Paperback horror era in full swing. Magazines still existed and published weird writing. Some people came in from the zine and underground sphere. The early internet had no filters compared to now, usenets distributed nature made it fucking impossible to kill. Early hosts didn’t give a fuck.

>>24785447
Which ones are some of your favourites?

>>24776699
Based

>>24776714
You are retarded. Ligotti has read literally EVERYTHING in his middle, read his interviews. He said that only NOW he doesn't reads novels. But still based of him for not reading novels.

>also not separating art from the artist

>>24785363
Demons Deathchase is widely regarded as inferior to the movie in almost every way.
It's not until volumes 4 and 6 that the series really finds its footing.

>>24785459
Ligotti is a hack

>>24785703
>t. filtered zoomer from creepcast

>>24785710
Ligotti appeals to zoomers who get filtered by BASED M.R James

>>24785718
Lol

>>24785718
I'm 32 and I enjoy both Ligotti and M.R. James.

I’m still pretty early on but so far I like this better than Between Two Fires. Maybe I’m just more into vampires in 1970s New York than I’m into medieval France with a child Joan of Arc stand in.

>>24783779
sounds interesting! Thanks anon

>>24782148
It's incredibly good, I'd put it in my top 5 of all time. The sequel, Echophraxia, is pretty good

Just finished Malpertuis, very good

Currently reading The Elementals by Michael McDowell and am enjoying it greatly.

What spooky book should I read next? I'm behind in my October reading so I'm trying to catch up and chug through some horror novels.

>>24782401
Hex fucking sucks

>>24787060
Very glad to hear you liked Malpertuis; it's one of my all time horror favourites. I've coincidentally read The Elementals recently, and also thought it was great.
It might be a bit big, but M.R. James' Collected Ghost Stories is a spooky must read. If it's too much, just read Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, which is the first of his 4 smaller collections. If you prefer a novel, William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist is a classic and holds up very well, even if you've seen the film.

>>24782109
>>24787048
I should also mention Starfish is also fantastic.

>>24787136
Thanks! I just ordered Ghost Stories of Antiquary. For some reason, I have a hard time with collected short story books. I end up losing interest even if the stories are great, I think the starting and stopping of plotlines wears me out and makes it hard to keep reading. I'm going to definitely read this one and, if I'm into it, I'll order the full collection.

I read The Exorcist last Halloween and thought it was a good one, I wish I had read it before watching the film. The movie's one of my favorites of all time and it's hard for any book to compete with a film like that.

>>24787141
It's on my bookshelf right now and I'm excited to read it, I think I'm going to start it immediately after Halloween

thoughts on pic?

>>24787136
>William Peter Blatty's The Exorcist
how does it hold up to The Case Against Satan

>>24785549
>Demons Deathchase is widely regarded as inferior to the movie in almost every way.
I expected and prepared myself as much. Still I think it'll be worth the read since I like the movie so much. Plus the first two volumes kept me interested
>It's not until volumes 4 and 6 that the series really finds its footing.
I can see that. Maybe next year I'll look at volume 4-6. Don't want to spend all October on one series

>>24787482
Hated it. Felt very Reddit for lack of a better word.

HorrorBabble is a fucking Godsend.

>>24787482
In my opinion, I think it expanded and improved on the story of The Case Against Satan. They're both good books, but The Exorcist elevates it to a different level.

whats the best Lovecraftverse fanfiction?

>>24787815
I remember the blog posts being very cringe.
And I hate Tremblay. Every story is the same: did that scary stuff happen or was it just MENTAL ILLNESS?!?!

I need you guys to tell me what I should think about Ramsey Campbell. What is the board consensus on him? Is Joshi right to rank him as a top tier?

>>24786128
I didn’t like it
I liked BTF but more because I loved the concept; he’s not a particularly good writer

>>24790084
Yes. Everything Joshi says about him is true. He’s one of the greatest horror writers ever. He isn’t more well known because he wasn’t always published well or consistently (especially in the states) unfortunately too much of his catalogue is out of print or not being put out by people that care.

>>24790502
Any specific books of his that you'd recommend? I have Alone With the Horrors, but other than that I'm a bit in the dark when it comes to his stuff.

>>24790084
>>24790502
>>24790757
Fuck off Joshi.

>>24790757
His other more recent short story collections, like Told by the Dead, Just Behind You and By the Light of My Skull are all great.

He's pretty hit or miss when It comes to novels though, but some of his books like Hungry moon and Midnight Sun are really good.

>>24790757
>>24790807
Like what the other anon said his recent collections are all really good. As for novels? The Parasite, The Nameless, and the hungry moon are all really soild

Your opinion on MR James?
I read the Mezzotint and while the story was fairly creepy, the writing style is a bit bland.
Do you suggest that I read more of him?

>>24791492
I think "The Mezzotint" is one of his strongest stories. I'd say read "'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'", which is generally seen as one of his best (and has some great dry humour), and if you still don't like it then maybe James' writing style isn't for you.

>>24777435

>>24791507

I like Lovecraft but the constant theme of everyone devolving into bestial ape-like forms, is especially on the nose.

I would say the most surprising story he wrote which was anti colonial was that one about aliens, on another planet and that invisible maze. Forgot the name.

Unless he molested you as a child, imma need you to put some respect on that name. Joshi crawled through the microfiche archives and library holdings so we could walk the halls of weird horror literature

Is this horror?

>>24795055
Fuck off Joshi, you smelly jeet.

Rather you like Joshi or not he’s right about a lot of writers. Most of the big paperback kings of the 70s/80s wrote subpar hackslop that’s been completely forgotten by everyone. When’s the last time you sat down on a plane and saw someone next to you reading Bentley Little? I slightly disagree with him on King (I think his first five or so novels, and a lot of his earlier short fiction are essential) He’s also gay as fuck for being so petty about Bairon. But he is a jeet after all, there entire culture is based around spite.

>>24797208
>He’s also gay as fuck for being so petty about Bairon
he's wrong about a lot of things but right about barron
never seen the appeal to his stories

>>24796961
My condolences on the molestation

>>24797208
I'd agree that at least Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are essential short fiction, but are there any specific novels you're referring to? Rage is one of the first 5, and there's no way that's an essential novel.

>>24797208
I'm a big fan of Brian Keene, he writes great pulp horror slop. Joshi eviscerated him in an article and I just remember being shocked at how MEAN it was. Like, it was personal. Joshi is an asshole.

What am I thinkin'?

>>24797778
Sorry first five minus the Bachman stuff (I sort of see those books are there own thing) I think Carrie, salems lot, the shining, the stand (it’s too long but it’s good) and the dead zone are readings. After that it’s mixed, pet semetary, Christine and misery are good. I also like the talisman, tho I think it’s more Straub’s book than kings.

>>24798274
I wanted to like the Dead Zone but found it lacking.

>>24777131
I liked the movie adaptation a lot

>>24798274
All of those books are way too fucking long

>>24799671
All of them? I thought The Shining and Misery are not too long at all for the plot they are trying to tell. 'Salem's Lot is a bit long, but the plot is structured as a slow burn, and it works in the book's favour to see a normal town long enough to notice all the small changes that slowly start to snowball.
I do have to say that Pet Sematary was excruciatingly slow and predictable, and it has a rushed slasher ending? What a fucking stupid decision
I haven't read Carrie, The Stand, The Dead Zone, or Christine, but aside from Carrie they are all long as hell.

>>24799727
>All of them?
Yes, King shrimply cannot write long form stuff, he should stick to only write short stories and making collections of them
Or get a good editor that eliminates all the chaff

>>24799727
>>24800471
Reminder that for every Stephen King book, someone already wrote a better version of It, see:

>Burnt Offerings > The Shining
>Swan's Song > The Stand
>Floating Dragon > It
>Jerusalem Man series > Dark Tower series

LRH here once again reminding you to read my novella Fear.

Yeah, that’s right — read it. Don’t just sit there pretending you’ve explored “the roots of psychological horror” because you skimmed The Call of Cthulhu once in high school. You haven’t seen real terror until you’ve followed Professor Lowry through the fog of his own missing hours.

Stephen King — the man who built a career on nightmares — called Fear “a classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror.” You think he hands that kind of praise out for free? No, he recognizes game when he sees it.

Wrote it back in 1940, when most “weird tales” were about swamp monsters and tentacles. I went deeper. I wanted the kind of horror that eats reason itself. It’s lean, mean, and nasty in all the right ways — not a single wasted word, not a single monster you can hide from. By the end, you’ll understand why I say it out-Lovecrafts Lovecraft. His endings dissolve into cosmic mumbo-jumbo; mine hits you like waking up from a dream you wish you hadn’t understood.

You want creeping dread? You want the taste of madness that lingers for days? Then stop handwringing about which “edition” or “printing” to buy. Just get Fear.

Find a copy, turn off the lights, and prove you can handle it. Most can’t.

>>24800490
Now do the rest of his bibliography
Also >already, Swan Song came out 9 years after The Stand

>>24799727
>Pet Sematary was excruciatingly slow
Oh fuck, yes, I couldn't agree more with you. It only got good (ie scary) at the point Louis went to exhume Gage . The Shining was almost as slow but it did have a lot more scary bits compared to Pet Sematary. Misery is more of a psychological thriller but it is way better than the former two. The Stand was too long to finish, I couldn't do it.

Bump!

Algernon Blackwood is so much better than hacks like ligotti and barron it's unreal

Currently halfway through E.T.A. Hoffmann's Best Tales of Hoffmann.
Read The Golden Pot, Automata, and The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, none of which are gothic or horror, and I read A New Year's Eve Adventure and The Sandman, both of which definitely count for this thread.
New Year's Eve is a classic Faustian bargain story, and The Sandman is surprisingly deep psychologically, dealing with what it means to deal with PTSD and the fear of losing grip on reality. You can clearly see how this influenced authors like Poe and Dostoyevsky.
Up next is Rath Krespel!

>>24783339
George Sterling fits the bill in places, especially his dramatic poem / closet drama Lilith. Joshi edited a collection of his poetry called The Thirst of Satan

>>24787136
Got any more recs? I made my way through both Malpertuis and The Elementals since reading this comment, and both were fantastic.

I'm making my way through The Reader's Bloch and James' Collected Ghost Stories, but I greatly enjoy interspersing my short story reading with sprints through novels.

What's the explanation for Americans being head and shoulders above everyone else in horror lit?

Thrill seekers of the new world

I started reading Between Two Fires. Do the religious figure references get explained explicitly eventually? For example I've gotten through the festival with the lion demon and also just finished the scene with the jew asking about if it was time. Now I can guess that the jew might be the wandering Jew and the lion demon the one from the intro that talked about famine but does the book ever give solid confirmation? Because there are other things I haven't been able to guess at that I'm curious about

Picrel is my tally of Lovecraft stories I've read. I think I may be missing a couple since I couldn't remember if I had read them or not. Right now I'm on Beyond the Wall of Sleep which somehow I don't think I've ever read before. What do I read next? Also I know HPL has a lot more stories not on my list that I got from Wikipedia years ago. Is there a site that will randomly generate Lovecraft stories for you to read, and you skip the ones you've already read? — I know there's a Stephen King website like that so why not Lovecraft too. The Del Rey trade paperback collections are really sexy, too.

Im a zoomie so my first meeting with Ligotti was through creepcast and imho its some of the best stuff they've read on the show.

Why did people hate it? I thought it was awesome. Not really scary but the descriptors of magic really made it feel arcane and otherwordly in that story about glasses that turn you nuts.

>>24806173
It kind of depends on what you're looking for, but I'm assuming something relatively close to Malpertuis and The Elementals?
I already recommended The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty in a previous comment, but others that are fantastic (and solely novels) are:
>Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
>The Tenant by Roland Topor
>The Other by Thomas Tryon
>The Shining by Stephen King

For more unrelated horror novels I greatly enjoyed:
>The Black Spider by Jeremias Gotthelf
>Psycho by Robert Bloch
>The Silence of the Lambs (and Red Dragon) by Thomas Harris
>The Cipher by Kathe Koja
>Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite
>Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
>Fever Dream by Samanta Schweblin

I hope it's not too much, and I hope it helps!

Trash.

Any of you read Henry S Whitehead? I was only familiar with him by name for his association with Lovecraft but I just read "The Lips" in an old ghost story anthology and jesus christ that shit was genuinely horrifying.

Are you an offended crab?

Is this book an outlier or are all of Trembley's books somehow both childish and pretentious at the same time?

>>24812982
Yes.
