Lovecraft On-Line
Now and then I've mentioned or alluded to Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the inter-war era New England writer of horror and fantasy. Today I discovered that almost all the man's fiction and poetry, along with a few essays and letters, is available on-line in both HTML and neatly laid-out PDF format. Great for reference purposes and as reading matter when travelling with a computer.If you're new to Lovecraft, I suggest you start with his stories The Outsider (it's gospel to us geeks) and The Strange High House in the Mist.

Hmmm, I've never read any of Lovecraft's work - not a big fan of fantasy. Loved horror when I was a teenager but haven't read anything decent in years. I will give it a look! Thanks Martin.
Fellow geek here...I haven't read Lovecraft for ages, but was in big discussion with him woith a horror fan the other day. Isn't it amazing what you can read on-line.
I am currently reading rememberance of Things Past. A lot of people don't like reading novels online, but I am okay with it. I read pretty fast...plus, since I am often away from home, I can still participate in my online book club and read...it's so cool.
I have read several plays by Shakespeare online, Charles Dickens at least two of his online. And of course, as I mentioned to you the other day, Hamlet's Mill.(but it doens't include the appendix which is brilliant and must be read)
Karen: Don't forget to blog about your imressions when you've looked into HPL!
C. Minx: My wife loves Proust, she recently started on her second trek through Remembrance.
I've only read one novel on-screen, but I suppose once I get a handheld with a large enough display, I'll be doing it all the time.
Hey martin...
why not suggest to your wife she visit www.constantreader.com
there is a big discussion there about Rememberance, which I am catching up on right now...
We are always looking for new participants!
