Have any of you Floodians read anything by him? He is a fantastic writer of horror and sci-fi stories. His most famous creation is the Cthulhu mythos.
His influence on modern horror and countless other books, games and movies is everywhere yet hardly anyone knows him!
Even Arkham Asylum in Batman was named after a fictional town he created.
So, in a nutshell, have any of you read anything by him?

Making my way through a complete collection of his stories at the moment, but it's somewhat hard since all the stories are so short: as soon as I become really invested in a tale, it ends, and it feels a little tiresome to have to start all over again every ten pages or so. So I'm just reading a couple at a time, while I read other books. Just finished Ports of Call by Jack Vance, and moving onto Shriek: An Afterword by Jeff Vandermeer.
