Ahira's Hangar

I enjoy Lovecraft as well.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Fid what do like best about ol' weird Howard? What r ur fav stories? The power of ahimsa is not just the readiness to die. It is the willingness to live. To live utterly without fear - this is a fearsome thing. <i></i>

I am now reading the short story The Shadow Out of Time by H. P. online. Very wild and terribly entertaining--astounding stuff 4 the years in which it was written!! Any reference in his works 2 the town of Arkham, Miskatonic University and The Necronomicon always bring a smile 2 my face!!! The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity with infinite possibilities. <i></i>

Hello, all! I've never read Lovecraft but feel I have to with all the good things being said! has anyone read Guy de Maupesaunnt? The spelling of his name is not quite right, He was a French horror writer in The 1800s. A collection of his short stories is well worth buying if you come across one. <i></i>

Murder on the Rue Morgue and others? He is quite interesting---along with Poe, the art and life of William Blake and some strange Sir Richard Burton and Aelister Crowley accounts...They made a cool movie about de Maupassant, himself, in the 40s or 50s didn't they?

That's not Cthulhu on the background--that, I think, is his brother Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos...

Just for the record, the best stories by Lovecraft that I presently remember would have to be

--At the Mountains of Madness (This is the first Lovecraft story I read; I have warm, fuzzy memories associated with this one.)

--The Call of Cthulu

--Rats in the Walls

--The Picture in the House <i></i>

Truly, Lovecraft is the master of Horror. None can equal the terror he instills in his readers!

My favorites are:
The Dunwich Horror
The Whisperer in the Dark
Dreams in the Witch House
The Horror at Red Hook

actually they all are grand stories.
Thanks danlo! <i></i>

so u finally got registered and in! Good job Kin! Welcome 2 the Hangar! I 2 enjoyed Whisperer and Horror at Red Hook? Ever read The Dreamquest? And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

Ahira, Ahira, he called out silently to the sky. Ahira, Ahira<i></i>

The Dreamquest is also one of the best, but I truly like all of his stories. With quite a bit of effort, I've managed to collect nearly every article and short story he ever published. Still a few to go however. I thought his attempt at scifi with In the Walls of Eryx was an excellent original work for 1935 <i></i>

Do you have Sprague de Camp's fantastic biography of H. P. ? And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

Ahira, Ahira, he called out silently to the sky. Ahira, Ahira<i></i>

I found a copy several months ago but never got around to reading it yet. I assume its good. <i></i>

Just wanted to say Hi to all the other Lovecraft fans. The first story I read was "Call of Cthulu" when I was in high school and I was hooked.

My favorites (so far) are:

The Dunwich Horror
The Haunter of the Dark
The Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath (meep!)

I have not had the pleasure to read the Red Hook story. So that will be my next goal - Thanks!

Kadath fans! I love it! Randolph Carter is my hero! Lorien welcome! The Horror at Red Hook is my personal fav--doesn't sound strange coming from someone w/intense claustrophobia-maybe that's why it scared the "meep" out of me! And now Danlo looked in that direction, too. He remembered that snowy owls mate in the darkest part of deep winter, and so along with this beautiful white bird perched in a tree a hundred feet away, he turned to face the sea as he watched and waited.

I'm not so much into horror -- I hate slasher flicks and the like, so Danlo challenged me to read some Lovecraft. If I read The Dremquest of Unknown Kadath he agreed to read a book by Roger Zelazny that has a lot of Lovecraftian influences, called A Night From the Lonesome October. I had read Lonsesome October a couple of months ago and had absolutely loved it.

Well, I have finished Dreamquest! And I enjoyed it! It didn't have a lot of gross violence, which I dislike. But it was still good and creepy -- and very, very imaginative. (meep)


Parts of the main story made my mouth drop open, like when the ship sailed into space...and I loved the parts dealing with the cats and the zoogs.

I also particularly enjoyed the short story called The Strange High House in the Mist.

Stories included in this book:
The Dream-quest of Unknown Kadath
Celephais
The Silver Key
Through the Gates of the Silver Key
The White Ship
