Dreams in the Witch-House
The Thing on the Doorstep
The Shadow Out of Time
Through the Gates of the Silver Key
At the beginning of "The Call of Cthulhu" Lovecraft actually summarize his view. If there is a God, by Lovecraft, he is most definitely beyond good or evil and indifferent toward people who it (beyond gender also) consider insignificant. Lovecraft bellieved that knowledge could be a danger. Knowing less might be better, or we can go insane. This was part of his personal experience of a great pressure felted by gained knowledge. He don't miss the chance to remind us that he's very well educated (a complex of not having a college degree), but he was not boring (on a contrary). Anyway he gained quite a knowledge for his time and that knowledge made him disappointed in this reality we all share.
You can find some racist comments but that's also part of his personal bitterness (this is not a defense, just observation).
"Through the Gates of the Silver Key" is deep story where you can get clearer Lovecraft view in a fuse of gothic, SF, theology and philosophy.
Chillingly good writing. Perfect gothic.”
“Tales inspired by Hp Lovecraft written by various authors. An excellent read.”
