[QUOTE="cakeanddottle, post: 169391, member: 1656"] His early period stuff is dull, the middle period somewhat generic, but the last 15 years of his life he wrote some great stories. He did have an annoying habit of falling in love with a word and then using it to death within a story (cyclopean comes to mind); his social ineptitude shows through in his hollow characters, and I don't think we can install him with the giants of English Literature. However, his craft at creating dread, doom and hysteria are unparalleled. History will remember Stephen King when American Horror comes up, but between these two pop culture icons Lovecraft's work was much more signigicant and influential. Pimples, warts and all, he's one of my favorite writers too. [/QUOTE]
