fcdc said:Thanks! My favorite modern horror writer is Ramsey Campbell, and Campbell borrows very heavily from Lovecraft, so that's probably where I got it from (I like a lot of Lovecraft's stories too; my favorites are probably Pickman's Model and The Thing on the Doorstep for straight storytelling and The Colour out of Space for sheer wtf? factor).
My favorite old-timey horror writer is Robert W. Chambers, from whom I probably borrow a fair amount of influence as well. The King in Yellow is fucking terrifying.
Thanks. I know it's thick prose, but as I was working with mythological elements, I figured the thickness and dream imagery-influenced language was warranted.
My favourite Lovecraft story is The Shadow Out of Time. I quite liked In The Mountains Of Madness as well.
