What it is
The poster says Lovecraft's fame rests on Cthulhu. The poster prefers the Dreamlands stories and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. A handful of replies follow.
What it says
- Lovecraft is known mainly for Cthulhu, the post says. It rates the Dreamlands stories and Charles Dexter Ward highly.
- The poster adds in a reply that the usual Lovecraft disclaimers apply. A commenter says the Ward story suits the screen, but its one adaptation is bad.
- A commenter calls a BBC audio adaptation strong. Another notes anthologies do not focus on Cthulhu; the poster calls Cthulhu uninteresting.
What evidence it gives
The source offers opinion only. One reply links a BBC Radio 4 audio adaptation.
