The Temple of Dagon

i plan to head to the bookstore at some point to buy a new lovecraft book. of all of the homages, collections, anthologies and real novels that i will likely find there, what works should i keep an eye out for? i'm looking for something sheerly frightening, like the reanimator is. i've read the rats in the walls and the mountains of madness. what would you recomend?

my favorite lovecraft story is herbert west: reanimator have a look for that its good ^^

He said he already read Reanimator. =P

I'd suggest Haunter of the Dark, that scared the shit out of me. XD

Great: "The Call of Cthulhu," "At the Mountains of Madness," "The Dunwich Horror," "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward," "The Doom That Came to Sarnath," "The Mound," "The Curse of Yig"

Good: "The Tomb," "Dagon," "The Festival," "The Whisperer in Darkness," "The Rats in the Walls," "The Shunned House," "Under the Pyramids," "The Haunter of the Dark," "The Nameless City," "The Shadow Out of Time," "The Strange High House in the Mist," "The White Ship"

Terrible: "The Unnamable," "The Tree," "The Thing on the Doorstep," "In the Vault," "The Beast in the Cave," "The Evil Clergyman," "The Outsider," "Herbert West - Reanimator"

Reanimator is great!!!!

Agree to disagree. It made for a fun splatter movie franchise, but on paper it reads like a really goofy version of Frankenstein.

Although I do have to edit my list a little: "Pickman's Model" is better than decent.

most fearsome:colour out of space

funniest:call of chtulhu,mountain of madness,shadow over innsmouth.

great:dunwich horror,reanimator,whisperer in the darkness.

Whisperer in the darkness was pretty creepy towards the end when the guy was in talking to the things that took over his friends body.

Herebert west is degraded only by the hollywood rape of the frankenstein novel, which if you read the original work of is quite good actually and the reputation of which, stains all similar works

i like "dreams in the witch house"

its really dark.
