Since I like to read older books, I come upon a lot of crazy authors with understandably old ideals. One of those authors is H.P. Lovecraft. I absolutely love his books and the entire world that comes with them. All of the cool monsters, worlds, and made up religions that go with them are definitely something to keep my mind occupied. I try to ignore the fact that he’s not a very good person but sadly some of his more negative opinions are expressed through his writing. In one of his short stories, Herbert West – Reanimator, the way he describes a person of color makes me upset. Like, why couldn’t he have included the character but left out the more racist comments? Again, I understand that at the time racism was more prominent then it is today in literature, but it makes me sad that some of my favorite books have blatant racism in their pages 🙁
