Yes he likes cosmic horror, but he does the general strange, fantastical, and light wonder as well. Also i dare say sci-fi

It can also be very peaceful, gentle and inspiring:

Also yeah, unfortunately he doesn't miss a chance to share his distaste for other kinds of humans. Like, okay we get it

Taking a page to tell us how dirty the Mexican is doesn't serve to support the plot.

Geez, what the hell am i about to say... at least he's a fair racist, (Christ) as he takes a turn to tell how shitty and subhuman the Catskill hillbillies are

The first time I've seen someone using the term "white trash" in 1919

So far my favorites are Dagon, Polaris, and The Terrible Old Man. Beyond The Wall Of Sleep and the Statement Of Randolph Carter are also good

Funny how in the Terrible Old Man, he still feels the need to point out the devious, conniving nature of the "heterogenous alien stock which lies outside the charmed circle of New England life and traditions"

Cats Of Ulthar sounds AMAZING

Like, Ulthar is some desolate, temple-strewn city populated only by dust between the astral plains. But no, it's some muddy Dutch place
