Litany of Earth is excellent. Can't wait for the full length novel based on it.

This also looks interesting, though haven't read it yet: Lovecraft Country -- a novel which mixes the mythos with the the Negro Motorist Green Book.

Just built my first computer. Pretty stoked about that - and so far no problems!

And this book has been blowing my mind https://www.amazon.com/Lovecraft-Country-Novel-Matt-Ruff/dp/0062292064/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473315193&sr=8-1&keywords=lovecraft+country

1940s racist America plus Lovecraft mythology? You had me at "1940s racist America plus Lovecraft mythology."

Oh, that sounds fantastic. I will check the book out, thanks for the tip! And I'll curiously await the movie.

I too watched Jacob's Ladder because of Silent Hill, funny enough. And I agree that games can be much more efficient in communicating this type of genre. The closest anyone has ever gotten to Lovecraft must be Eternal Darkness, a gem on the Nintendo Gamecube (with an incredibly terrible trailer).

While we're recommending books:
Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country is a great read and homage, mixing the real horror of African-American life in southern states during the Jim Crow era with elder gods.
