    If you didn’t see Lovecraft Country on HBO, I highly recommend it.

    Yes it starts Jonathan Majors and that sucks but the showrunner/series developer is a black woman and I fucking love that Lovecraft is spinning in his grave after a black woman made his stories better.

    The horror of the Other was a continuum that started with non-WASP cultures and ended at Azathoth gibbering in the cosmic void

      The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown

    That’s pretty hilarious given that his English master race is basically just the same Briton stock as the Welsh but with trace amounts of old German tribes.
