Lovecraft Being Racist

THE TERRIBLE OLD MAN by H.P. Lovecraft, set in the fishing village of Kingsport, isn't much of a story as it is a set-up...shadow without the substance. The author has a talent for creating, but not story-telling. His pieces are intriguing, but how he moves them lacks skill.

I'm amazed at how much of an influence Lovecraft has over present-day authors, many of which write far better stories. I also noticed his racism showing in this one.

As always,
