Glad I managed to summarize it well. :p
It definitely made me want to actually sit down and read Lovecraft’s works, though. It’s a not-s0-secret shame of mine that I’ve never read a thing he’s written, so all the Cthulhu references people make tend to go right over my head most of the time.
Honestly, I love Lovecraft, but I don’t know if you need to read him directly. He’s one of those weird writers who’s often better filtered through others.
