Lovecraft Tales

[snappydresser]

The Colour Out of Space is STILL the straight-up creepiest science fiction 
story ever written.

Anyone on the P-List ever read Michel Houellebecq's "H.P. Lovecraft: Against 
the World, Against Life"?

"Life is disappointing and full of sorrow. It would be pointless, then, to 
write more realist novels. In general, we know already what reality has in 
store for us; and we have not the slightest desire to know more."

That's the first line. It only gets better from there.

There's a free, downloadable PDF version available here, translated from the 
French:
