The best lovecraft stories5/8/2023 ![]() ![]() You will notice that some of Lovecraft’s classic stories are not on my list. My list does not include any of Lovecraft’s collaborative works. What do I mean by ‘greatest’? Basically, the list includes stories that display his incredible imagination to full advantage. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of what I consider to be his ten greatest tales. I’m sometimes asked which HPL works are my favorites. As an adult, I now realize it’s heavy on exposition and light on character development, but hey, I still get a kick out of it. For the record, my favorite Lovecraft story is “The Dunwich Horror.” Back when I was a kid, I thought it was the best story ever written. ![]() They were so awe-inspiring, so entrancing! Over the years, I’ve read each of his stories dozens of times. ![]() Of all the authors I read back then, I enjoyed the works of Lovecraft the most. Reading those stories made me realize that when I grew up, I should also write weird stories … so I did, and still do. Lovecraft, August Derleth, Robert Bloch, Carl Jacobi, Donald Wandrei, and many others. The library’s fiction section held a lot of Arkham House story collections and anthologies, and so I read loads of stories by H.P. My mother used to drop me off at the library when she went shopping, and I’d spend the afternoon reading horror stories. ![]()
