Lovecraft π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈ As I dip my tentacles back into hosting readalongs, and as voted for by you - *gestures vaguely into the void* - I'd like to keep this one simple. Join me, for the final week of August, in the Generally Gothic #Lovecraftalong. βοΈ You are invited to read any - I repeat a-n-y - short stories and/or poems by H. P. Lovecraft and join in the discussion here. If you've no idea where to begin, fear not; the spookstagram community came forth and I have gathered a list of recommendations, as suggested by you - *gestures, again, vaguely and voidwards*. I also have a list of places to read free. βοΈ I will post another few Lovecraft-specific posts to host discussion threads, but you're welcome to take them to your own pages by using the hashtag #Lovecraftalong and #generallygothicbookclub (the latter's much longer so I understand if the thumbs refuse). Tag me & I'll share your posts for other Lovecraftalongers (?!) to see. βοΈ I mentioned that I was jumping back into monthly themes; for August that means monsters - formally, it is titled 'Of Monsters and Men'. I am, thus, particularly interested in the monstrous within Lovecraftian literature this month, but you need not be limited by my nerdy obsessions. βοΈ I know that Lovecraft can be problematic. It is important to read him within the context of his time. It is also important to acknowledge the monstrosity of humanity in very real life. βοΈ Thank you to those of you who have already expressed an interest in reading along. The invite remains open to everyone, until the end of August and into the great beyond... βοΈ Lovecraftalong lists incoming shortly. . #generallygothic #bookstragram #spookstagram #readalong #hplovecraft #shortstoryreadalong #lovecraftreadalong #cosmichorror #horrorreaders #spookynerd (at OUTER SPACE) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChsCl2lo89n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
