Are you a fan of H.P Lovecraft?

Now you can listen to his awesome stories!
Now swamp me with praise for this awesome find.

Also, talk about the things you love about Lovecraft.

"Swamp" is perhaps a little much, but I am indeed a Lovecraft fan and happen to be reading one of the collections of his stories right now (I'm onto The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath), and I am grateful to you for pointing this out to me.

Cthulhu fhtagn, Hail to the Goat with a Thousand Young, and fear the Crawling Chaos who is the soul and messenger of the Outer Gods.

Ah, is that the HP Lovecraft Omnibus 1? If so I'm reading that also!
I've almost finished Dreams in the Witch-House, and The Statement of Randolph Carter is waiting next.
But I really want to read Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath, ever since reading At the Mountains of Madness and it mentioned the huge mountain that even the high ones feared .

Luckily its in the collection I'm reading (but even if it wasnt, I'd get it as an e-book from the site i showed you)

No, it's a different omnibus trilogy - the ones edited by S. T. Joshi. Though I have, in fact, read that very compilation you're on now, years ago. The 3 Joshi compilations seem much better researched in the footnotes and introduction, however - there's interesting information about the generation story and dozens of footnotes.

I LOVE the mythos.

I remember playing "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth", it was a dream come true. A shame the company was closed and the two other Cthulhu games they were working on were put to death.

An enjoyable game indeed. I was especially impressed by the clever realisation of panic and horror, by having the character's vision distort crazily when he was witnessing something too terrible or beyond belief for a human mind to accept, and by the way his heartbeat and breath became wilder and wilder. When the Shoggoth appeared I could hardly see what the hell I was even doing, Jack was so out of control with fear. They really nailed the qualities of the Lovecraftian atmosphere and style. And they barely even scratched the surface of the Mythos, of course, so they could have done several more games.

Though it was Bethesda who did it, and they haven't closed, they just lost interest and chose to concentrate on Oblivion/Fallout 3. Dark Corners of the Earth just wasn't a commercial success, sadly.

The game was developed by Headfirst Productions. They were liquidated once the game was completed. BethSoft was just the publisher.

I've always wanted to play the Call of Cthulu games.
