Reading it reminds me of how far away from the source we have come. After that I have William Hope Hodgeson and Poe lined up, continuing in my reading of all authors that were either an influence or influenced by HP Lovecraft. I would really love to know if anyone has come across any new 'weird horror', is this genre dead? It doesn't have to be Cthulhu Mythos. I really love this genre since it goes against modern sciences' notion that there is nothing that it cannot discover. In weird horror, there is knowlege that man's brain is not equiped to contain, and should this knowledge enter the mind it invariably breaks.</blockquote>
