Won't lie
I have read some of his stuff
It's not... great?
For example there's one where a guy descends underground and starts shrieking over the phone to his friend going "OHHH NOO THE HORROR IS SO INDESCRIBABLE IT'S HORRIFYING AND I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT"
And then he dies
And that's the end of the story
I'm not messing with you
But it is encouraging to know a book doesn't have to be good to be influential
