I've started reading "Omnibus 1: At the mountains of madness" by H. P. Lovecraft.
This is the first Lovecraft I am reading, and I am very positively surprised.
Unlike what I expected, it's easy reading and the feeling of greased leather and tesla coils that permeates it is just wonderful.
Ah, You're reading Lovecraft!
Whacky.
Glad you're enjoying his work.
"It was a dark and stormy night."
His work is so controversial amongst the literary set.
It's nice to know people can and do actually enjoy it!
Peace.
Hi people!
Does somebody know who is the author of those wonderful image, please?
Oh! And you're on AllConsuming! Me, too. :)
O.K., back to work. Looking for your Brian's Latest Comments plug-in.

Given what you are reading you might be interested in what I have just produced:
The Lovecraft Cosmos Collection™ I
Welcome to the worlds of Howard Phillips Lovecraft!
The dreams and the drugs; the witchcraft and the wormholes; the aliens and their alarming deities; the mundane world where the anomalistic occurs quite normally – this, and much more, oozed from the pen of one of the most influential fantasy, horror and science fiction writers of the 20th century. Stephen King has said of him, “He struck with the most force, and I still think, for all his shortcomings, he is the best writer of horror fiction that America has yet produced.”
Creator of Arkham and Cthulhu, Lovecraft was the quintessential outsider who believed that, “…common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large” and that, “The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind.”
The digital equivalent of The Daily Prophet, and even more so of The Quibbler, in the Harry Potter books and films, each story is an experience that helps to tell itself though links. The format of this experience is neotext – a totally new multimedia/ hypermedia interactive version of each story – fully illustrated, and with hyperlinks to websites featuring word definitions, background material, sound effects and music, and, videos. Every link has been chosen to enrich the reading of the story and each story has additional ‘Links and Resources’ pages where the themes of the story and further background can be explored via the net. It has also been extensively annotated with footnotes and endnotes providing additional information and links.
This collection comprises five Lovecraft stories – Azathoth, Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu, The Other Gods and The Thing on the Doorstep – as well as two ‘Editor’s Extras’ – Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth and Lovecraftian Labyrinthine Linkages (a list of additional links to all things Lovecraftian.
Each Lovecraft Cosmos Collection™ is normally supplied via CD in the form of PDFs (open with free Adobe Acrobat Reader) with payment processing via PayPal.
I'm currently selling copies via eBay but if you were prepared to review it in your blog a refund of your payment could be arranged – that way I get eBay feedback as well!
Look forward to hearing from you

Wow, I just finished The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories and I have to say that I am hooked. I love the way he describes everything so vividly that you cant help but picture it in your mind. I had heard about him but hadn't read anything of his, but now I am glad that I did. Very creepy stories. I hope you check out some more.
