Of course he's a racist! And a creep. He takes after Poe (a little too much).
But he wasn't a raging drunk like Poe which only makes things eerier on how his strange, depraved mind could brew such fantasies WITHOUT the influence of any drug. I mean, you gotta admire that he's one gloom and doom writer who didn't fit under the stereotypical Byron profile...more of a Crispin Glover type.
I like the imagery he put in my 12/13 year old mind and some of his renditions of mysticism. He hyped up Necronomican like no other fucker and Herbert West-Reanimator is a classic the whole family can laugh along to! It was when I stopped taking him seriously that I could really enjoy his stories. He goes over the top on purpose most of the time to, as stated, emphasize his misanthropy.
But so what?
