This is why I generally like things derived from his work (Re-Animator is one of the funniest black comedies I have ever seen) but have always found his writing boring. He is the lowest class of a generation of pulp writers, but without much of the artistic merit or talent of the others.
I leave all concerns about racism and other ism's out of it ... there's a lot of that goes around in those circles.
