YepIt's worth looking in to, they're only short stories that are loosely associated. Some are better than others but it's good reading material.

It is often the rather bumbling acount of some over-intelectual foolwho deserves horrific death, true, but there's a certain charm to the clumsy feel to the prose. He holds my interest way better than that over-exposed second rate author Stephen King.

i honestly think the world would've been better servedif he hadn't had his breakdown at an early age, and had gone off to get a conventional university education like he planned.
i still think he would've written stories. only they'd have been better ones
(still, his style does improve a bit in his later, longer stories)

He was an extremely messed up individual, yeah.Shame really, and I absolutely agree, I've got a huge collection of them laid out chronologically and there's a massive quality difference between the early and late stories.

*Nods* TotallyThe way he explores dream-like worlds where normal physical rules don't apply and makes them reality is quite an interesting one too, and the social Darwinist edge to it all is... well, it's a very interesting reflection of attitudes at the time if nothing else.

there's not a pressing need to botherwhereas his ideas were interesting (particularly in basing his horror on actual, material things rather than the realm of ghosties and devils) and have influenced many later ideas in fiction,
it's not like he could actually write very well
