A computer game (Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth) also showed some of the same love and devotion to the source material. The game's based around The Shadow of Innsmouth, and some scenes in the game are perfect reproductions.

I played the game as well, and read Shadow over Innsmouth at Garner's recommendation. I must say both were of very high quality. Lovecraft can scare the reader quite well, he can get the... feel, the mood, the emotions of the characters quite well. And he's got a very active imagination. Too active sometimes.

It's his writing quality that's a killer. There's very little of it. But often what's behind the writing is so good that it's worth reading.
