Honestly I'm not a big Lovecraft guy. Like I read synopses of his stories and impressionable nerds being driven mad by wacky weirdo shit seems like extremely my thing, but reading actual stories is like pulling teeth. Maybe he was just that bad of a writer or maybe I don't know English well enough to enjoy his verbose nerdy prose...

      I willing to bet there are hundreds of fanfics giving Lovecraft the "Harry Potter and the method of rationality" treatment.

        It'd be nice to have the reverse of it, such as a fanfic that acknowledges the real uncaring world-ruining horror that is capitalism.
