I read through H.P. Lovecraft's collected works.
You start to notice more of the racism the older you get; when I was starting out, I assumed that "Well, it was just the times" and basically ignored the racism.
Now? It's hard not to notice it; I was a kid then, but I'm a fully grown adult now.
Yeah, some of the stories are pretty gross. Like the one where some dude contacts some heavenly spirit trapped in a “degenerate” poor non-white dude’s body, and it’s trying to escape.
