it's by houllebecq!?!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 4 September 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

ok i'm really interested to read this now.

It doesn't sound like anything other than what I've been reading in Call of Cthulhu fanzines for years.

Incidentally, I am going to Vermont later in the week... I will be keeping an eye out for inbred yokel servants of the Outer Ones.

I just bought this and am looking forward to reading it. I'm working through Dreams of Terror and Death first, though, as I'm not too acquainted with Lovecraft and want some sort of familiarity.

Lovecraft is the shit. I am definitely gonna order this through work (30% discount beeyotch).

I have had interesting experience in close proximity to his grave.

it's actually pretty good. also, if you're not in the us and get tired of being unable to find this anywhere (i went round all the obvious places in london without luck), this may be of interest:

I thought it was rather excellent as well. Need to go read more Houllebecq now.

― ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Monday, 10 July 2006 04:34 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't the reason Houllebecq likes HPL because he was a misogynist nazi? I mean I'm a huge fan of HPL, but it seems mightily perverse to focus on his 'philosophy'.

houll. paints hpl as a big-ass racist, but one who does give up on hitler
