The irony is that, at least regarding his letter-writing, Lovecraft was very talkative indeed the only reason we laymen even know about Lovecraft is because he formed several connections that proved valuable for preserving his work after his death. You may notice for instance, especially in his later stories, that Lovecraft hates writing dialogue and will do anything to get around having to write basic human conversation. But Lovecraft, IN MY OPINION, can also be pretty boring and full of himself, never mind his other limitations. Lovecraft, when he’s really up my alley, is pretty good: “The Rats in the Walls,” “Cool Air,” and “The Shadow Out of Time” are all bangers for me, with that last one especially standing out for its marrying of cosmic wonder with an equally strong dose of cosmic anxiety.
Lovecraft, even though I’ve read a good portion of his work at this point and have liked some of it.
