"Saints Are Down" by The Cult
the two genders, Lovecraft and Derleth,
and for those of you who prefer to listen rather than read, here's my favorite reader of spooky and weird stories 🖤

@Maenad @amphetamine @amsomniac they lend themselves well to it. somewhat ironically, Lovecraft hated what he considered white degeneracy as much as he did non-white people.
@benhamill @Maenad https://lovecraftzine.com/magazine/issues/2015-2/issue-34-march-2015/to-kiss-your-canvas-by-w-h-pugmire/ this and some of his other stories are available for free on Lovecraft eZine, if you want to take a peek without committing to buying a book yet. He's got several collections of short stories set in the Sesqua Valley canon, which is his own creation but takes cues from the Lovecraftian style.

genre: gothic metal, death doom metal
@Maenad yeah, those and his Dreamlands stories where he can go on for a full page just describing the landscape are probably where his writing really shines
RT if you're a goth who would kill for pumpkin stout
@Maenad he also has a youtube channel and is quite delightful
@Maenad an extra tidbit for why I recommend Pugmire: a lot of his characters are implicitly or explicitly LGBTQ
@Maenad there are a lot fewer giant monsters in Lovecraft's actual writing than you might expect and there's uncomfortable racism that seeps into many of his earlier stories especially, but he does have beautiful prose
@Maenad well I've been on a pretty big Lovecraft kick as of late and have been expanding my horizons to some of his contemporaries and more modern authors who take cues from the Lovecraft circle. W.H. Pugmire is a current writer that I'd recommend, he writes wonderfully weird stuff both in the Cthulhu Mythos canon and his own original setting.
@Maenad laundry, some reading
