Huh, some of the stuff reads pretty far-out (as I'm expecting from
Lovecraft), but if you read his "Colour out of Space" paralled to
Charles
Fort's books (where he compiles all sorts of strange phenomena and
sightings from scientific publications)--which Lovecraft explicitly
references to--the whole thing becomes infinitely more skeeery, as
reality amplifies fictive plots and the edge between one and the other
starts to blur... Reality accused of being purely fictious, fiction
claiming to be real... Unnamable abominations... Things falling from
the skies... Creeping decay and insanity... Aaaaaaaah...!
And the greatest horror: So many books, so little time. Aaaaaaaarrrrrgh!
