The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is the best Lovecraft story, i think. perfect mood, perfect setting, perfect pacing. Absolutely chilling!

 

[swizzlenuts]

Yes that story fucking rules too!

Couldn't agree more; that one story is probably the only one I've ever read that has ever genuinely scared me. Mountains of Madess kicks a lot of ass too

 

[cthulufhtagn]

isn't the case of charles dexter ward completely about miscegenation?

rats in the walls is hands-down his best story imo...the coloUr out of space is also pretty rad, as well as a million others. i'm actually reading penguin's "the dreams in the witch house and other stories" collection right now, which kinda compiles his more fantasy/sci-fi oriented works.

It might be I guess -- but more importantly: it's a damn good story

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Robert Jordan just died.

Helllooooooo unfinished series.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

You're kidding...?


EDIT: No, you're not... Useless fat bastard. I suffered through thousands of boring as shit pages for him! Now I won't even get to know how it ends?! If someone doesn't ruffle through his notes and finishes that shit, i'll implode!

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I hope that when I die, people are angry and blame me for my death. That will be true achievement.

Of course, yeah, if I was into WoT I would probably also be going WTF FUCK YOU JORDAN YOU ASSHOLE

 

[MajestikMøøse]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha





....


Sorry, that was cruel and heartless of me.

 

[Tranquillian]

Hmm, that's bad, and interesting. I know someone else will write the ending, which I am pretty sure he has already outlined.

 

[Evil?]

Oh shit, I know some people who may be pissed about that too.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I'm glad I stopped giving a shit about that series a long time ago.

 

[Demilich]

So wait, what had happened in the past few books?

I gave up on that one that was all one day from the perspective of each different character or whatever.
God, how could someone who can write such powerful (if simple) prose turn to such shit?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

alright, BIG SPOILER HERE:

rand got his hand blown off by a chick, cleansed the man part of the source thingy, and married three different ladies

now we're just waiting for some action...

Well, I'm just waiting for George RR Martin to die now. He is past his prime, you know....

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Okay, now if Martin died, I'd be fucking pissed. His, at least, is still a great series.

 

[spaffe]

Robert Jordan just died.

Helllooooooo unfinished series.

Fuck. So what would be best? A completely unfinished series or that Jordan's brother, whom he had apparently told the ending and final story to, tries to finish it, leaving us with what would probably be a pretty damn crappy book, but at least an ending. Hm. Fuck.

agreed.

and agreed about martin as well.
