HP Lovecraft - "The Outsider"

**BrooksyFC** · 07-26-2011, 04:27 PM

Hey All,

I was doing some research into Amnesia and this author called HP Lovecraft wrote these horror books, e.g "The Outsider", heard it maybe related to Amnesia?

Had anyone read this books or anything similar?

Any recommendations???

Do you know anything about Lovecraft at all? If you don't further reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft

Spoiler below!

And game is not inspired by The Outsider. Read The Case of Charles Ward Dexter instead.

Yeah I know about him, I just knew he had a lot of books and I wasn't sure which was the best one. They all look good. Just didn't know if any were like Amnesia

Thanks for the recommendation Smile

Oh, if you want to read, I can tell his best stories, at least best in my opinion.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth
Call of Cthulhu
At the Mountains of Madness
The Case of Charles Ward Dexter
The Statement of Randolph Carter
The Shadow Out of Time
Pickman's Model
Herbert West – Reanimator
From Beyond
The Dreams in the Witch House
The Dunwich Horror

Well, these are my bests.

Thanks Tanshaydar, Ill check them out. I've seen his whole collection for £11 on amazon. 900 Pages!? haha

Pahaha!!! ok, it's been reworded now Tongue

I have the story collection too. Personally not all of them are good, some of them are boring and has nothing significant, but the only The Shadow Over Innsmouth is enough to make him one of the greatest if not the only one.

Yeah I was thinking some of them can't be as good as others, but for the price you pay for each book, may as well get the collection. My mates got one of them so ill read that first and see what I think first before buying it.

Thanks for your help bud! Big Grin
