HP Lovecraft - Fungi From Yuggoth.zip
Very weird and disjointed plot but still very entertaining. I like to think if it as Lovecraft's version of Dante's Inferno but he goes to altogether stranger places then hell.

Should have avoided literature as a medium for his concepts, then, you silly man. Fucking hell, Anon, don't anger me, please. Literature isn't well suited for portraying pictures, it's only good for telling stories. True, a story can draw a great mental image as it concludes, sure; or you can go without an image; but you can't pass on the story part. You can't write a short story or a novella and pass on the storytelling aspect entirely - at least Lovecraft couldn't, instead horribly depicting flat characters and telling silly stories in one ugly paragraph after another so that he could finally get to the scary point of his.

(He should've been writing poetry, drawing or composing music; wait, I take that back: neither of these favour shitty artistry, either.)

I say, if Lovecraft's writings were all as outlandish and a-personal, yet deeply human as Kadath, it coulld've been as you say. But, sadly, they're mostly like Colour or Cthulhu, or Innsmouth, which are just horror stories with quality horror concepts and atrocious execution. One should have a really bad taste / low readership experience to see the first aspect or Lovecraft's legacy, yet - God, so childish - completely overlook the second.
