re: #256 SanFranciscoZionist

I was introduced to that by a Lovecraft-and-musicals fan friend, who was, I’m not kidding, worried that I might find it offensive. Because FotR is, you know, a sacred text of my people.

I assured her that the parts I could understand were funny as hell.

People who haven’t read Lovecraft are missing out.

He wrote six unbelievably creepy stories. He actually wrote hundreds of stories, set in a darkly disturbing and brilliant twisted mythos - but he really only wrote six distinct types of plot. If you are reading any of those six plots for the first time, you will likely get creeped out.

He is simultaneously mad genius and weepy joke. He makes the best fodder for humor.

I think I shall make a mini page…
