I recently got Lovecraft's letters with Robert Howard and opened to a random page where he was, in fact, complaining about Italians.

LOL I can’t believe it, that is too perfect. He would not stop ragging on them for being superstitious in “The Haunter of the Dark,” and I kept thinking, “Dude…you’re H.P. Lovecraft.”

Having last read Lovecraft in my teens, I will now do so again. I know that my local bookstore has a copy of his complete works. On the subject of dread, all those stories are now 60 years older.
