What are everyone’s opinions on HP Lovecraft? I’m trying to read at the mountains of madness but I’ll read a few pages and realise I have no idea what I have just read and have to read it again. Really enjoyed The Tomb but cant seem to take in any of his other works!

    I kinda feel the same. I’ve read mountains of madness before, and can remember some of the imagery of the horror he describes, but for the life of me I can’t remember the plot or characters. Lovecraft has interesting lore and vivid imagery of his eldritch horrors, but I haven’t been able to connect with any of the actual stories.
