    Hit and miss, Some really impressed me and others not so much. I think the real value is the works that came by others who were inspired.
    I read them with the same mindset I would play the first in a long running video game series, It wont be the prettiest version or have the best content but it's where it started for many that came after.

    Also there is a few things like his racism etc. which affects his work that some find offensive.

      If there are specific books/stories that you find racist then post the titles. Otherwise a nebulous cry of racism just seems insincere.

      To answer the parent, Lovecraft's appeal is that his writing evokes imagery by what he doesn't say, rather than what he does say. His short stories do this very well. The books, not so much.

        You're talking about a man who wrote a poem called "On the Creation of Ni**ers". This isn't people reading something into his writing that isn't there. He wrote thousands and thousands of letters that made it really, really clear that he was a straight up racist (and a homophobe, and an antisemite…). Not a "my, but I sometimes worry about the impact of immigration on this fine country" racist (though he was that too, lamenting about "mongrelisation which would mean the hopeless deterioration of a great nation") - but a "people who aren't white are subhuman" racist. Black people in particular were "beast(s)…in semi-human figure, filled with vice".

        Here's just one example from the list above. "The Horror at Red Hook" discusses "hordes of prowlers” with “sin-spitted faces…[who] mix their venom and perpetrate obscene terrors.” They are of “some fiendish, cryptical, and ancient pattern” beyond human understanding, but still retain a “singular suspicion of order [that] lurks beneath their squalid disorder.” With “babels of sound and filth,” they scream into the night air to answer the nearby “lapping oily waves at its grimy piers.” They live within a “maze of hybrid squalor near an ancient waterfront,” a space “leporous and cancerous with evil dragged from elder worlds.” You say he evokes imagery by what he doesn't say, but he's more than happy to make it abundantly clear he's talking about immigrant dock workers:"the “Syrians, Spanish, Italian and Negro[s]” whose neighbourhood turns out to be the literal gateway to hell.

        We haven't even got into him telling stories about hideous monsters who turn out to be (gasp) Chinese people or (the horror) Inuit people yet.

      Times changed. My mid 60’s encyclopedia used the N word to specify a race and it was considered normal.
