Yeah, his fiction is pretty fun.

I've read here and there that his poetry has undeniable quality, to the dismay of all the people who are wont to dismiss or criticize him.

I generally find all the occult imagery shit to be an incredibly fun aesthetic but my god is he an insufferable writer. I reqlly want to get into his shit to start incorporating his themes into my work but I cant get past how much of a grade A creep he is, like he clearly just made all this shit up in order to prey on vulnerable women, which like, if thats your thing whatever but it really takes away from the fun of the occult for me
