well, that’s exactly the reason i didn’t like Elizabeth Bear’s “shoggoths in bloom.”

Actually, all of those points can be made about RPG adventures, too. I’ve seen my share of “Lovecraftian scenarios” that essentially swapped out Mi-Go for orcs.

“They give the monsters in the dark writhing tentacles instead of claws and teeth.”
Totally true! Great article! Apart from Neil Gaiman’s awesome story, I’m a little behind in my Lovecraftian authors reading, but I’m a big fan of Thomas Ligotti and Ramsey Campbell (whose work is only borderline Lovecrafty, I guess, but…). I ought to look for some new Cthulhuvian writings…
