The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft (WEBSITE!)

I just stumbled upon this site. I am ecstatic!

http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/

What a find! Absolute gold!

Every story he ever wrote, in a comfortable grey font against a black background so it's easy on the eyes. I can't believe it. I'm going to write a love letter to the person who took the time to compile this.

There's a bunch of other stuff from a few other classic authors too. Bookmark this page!

Been there, done that. But a good site nonetheless.

Seconded. They also have an entire copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Isn't it a breach of copyright? I suppose since Lovecraft is pretty dead you could argue that it doesn't count.

Hahah! This site introduced me to H.P. Lovecraft a few months ago. I love whoever made it. I cant imagine what 9:00 on a saturday night would be like without Lovecraft!

Yeah, it's a copyright breech under American law, and I'm sure it's a breach of copyright laws in many other nations too, but who knows where the server is located. Some nations don't enforce those laws very well, especially if the writer isn't from the nation in question. Personally, whenever I find a site like this which has something I want I save it ASAP because the site could go down tomorrow for all we know.

That's the site I used when I was 12 to read Lovecraft after my parents told me I couldn't...

Good site though. It also has a bunch of other decent literature.

Mmm. The background music is pretty irritating though.

Keep it up Mr. Filth. For all you know, I'm logging your every post and waiting for you to cross the line. It's all part of my plot to take over the world, one shitty internet forum at a time.

A lot of his work is public domain, and all of it in some countries, according to wikipedia and other websites.

Oh NOHS! That actually sounded kind of like Helpmann.

Great site. I usually hate reading stuff online, but the black background is really easy on the eye.
