Actually... Rod's latest book 'Sinema' is awesome... and, even though he is a friend, I would have to place it way up there. It really is THAT good. Friend or not. I am really looking forward to the sequel!

H. P. Lovecraft is my favorite horror writer too. My favorite stories by him are "The Haunter in the Dark", "The Call of Cthulhu", and "The Whisperer In Darkness". "Whisperer" is one I found especially disturbing.

I read Pandemonium by Christopher Brookmyre a few months ago and I have to say that has gone straight into my top 10. One of the best novels I've read in years.

I love the classics when it comes to horror. Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, M. R. James and for modern stuff, Stephen King and James Herbert.

I agree all the way there, LC. The Raven in particular of Poe's is so haunting.

I'm eager to see the film of "At The Mountains of Madness" too. That short story was the first of Lovecraft's mythos stories that I ever read and remains one of my favorites to this day.

Del Toro wrote a screenplay for it back in 2006, but couldn't get funding. I hadn't heard any further news about it. Have you heard something? It would make a great film with the right budget and a director like Del Toro behind it.

No, unfortunately I haven't. I do hope that it eventually gets made, however, as Del Toro seems like the right director for a Lovecraft film. The only other Lovecraft movie I've heard of is The Call of Cthulhu from the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, who are currently working on an adaptation of "The Whisperer In Darkness".
The short story's fantastic, though, whatever becomes of the film.

I've not heard of these proposed films, hope it does happen. My favourites of Lovecraft's stories are 'The Call Of Cthulhu', 'The Lurking Fear' and 'The Rats In The Walls'.
