I loved that Brothers Grimm book I got from Costco so much that I went back and got this H.P. Lovecraft one. It was the last copy they had. I took back a game I got for Christmas which I knew I wouldn’t play which was Lego Jurassic Park and used the money from that to get this. Yes, The Call of Cthulhu is featured in this collection. I wish I could find this and the Brothers Grimm books as ebooks so I could have a digital copy for my Kindle Paperwhite.Svet !jzYkdX7lIw joined in and replied with this 7 years ago, 1 minute later[^] [v] #951,910
Lovecraft was an extreme racist. One time he saw a black man walking along the same street as him and was upset for a week. Ironically he married a jew.

"More importantly, without his outdated worldview, Lovecraft wouldn't have been Lovecraft. As Lovecraft scholar Leslie Klinger has said, the author felt that he was 'surrounded by enemies and everything is hostile to him . . . [if] you take away that part of his character, it might make him a much nicer person, but it would destroy the stories.'"
This makes it sound like he was a schizophrenic.

That part of the introduction I just read said that he didn't just marry a Jew, but he married an emigrant Jew. He didn't like immigrants either.
