I'm ambivalent about HP Lovecraft. I read them all along with https://www.hppodcraft.com/about, which was great fun. Some stories are schlocky, there's the whole racist/right wing vibe, but the odd one really creeps you out. "From Beyond" did that for me.
Anyone else read HPL?

@garethsouthwell when I was a young man I read H. P. Lovecraft every day during October. I renewed that tradition last year and will continue it next month, and I’ll be starting with “The Hound.”
@operationwatchtower That's an interesting tradition! Any reason it's October? The HPL literary podcast is great fun - do you know it?

@garethsouthwell I listen to the podcast years ago. As far as the tradition goes, it was inspired by Halloween. When I started this tradition, I still lived in New England, so I was steeped in the Lovecraft vibe.
@operationwatchtower Ah, Halloween, of course!
Yes, reading the stories must have given living in NE a definite aura!

@garethsouthwell any Halloween traditions of your own?
@operationwatchtower Well, we do trick or treat! But generally just remembering the departed.
