Things that freaked H. P. Lovecraft out:
It would be easier to list the things that didn't freak Howard out.
Plus everyone who wasn't white and from his home town.
😬😬😬

It's just a bad translation, in the original Roman it's a passage about love.
We should have “a bit of grace” and give the “benefit of the doubt.” ~/s~
It's well known that he was a socially awkward and autistic.
My favorite way of explaining how racist he was is that his contemporaries over a century ago in the "Birth of a Nation" period of racism were like "Dude - tone down the racism."
Things that made him cum:
Honorable mentions:

Of light. But also black people too, but that's not what I meant!
...that's probably it
And his cat's name freaks out all of us
what do you mean, surely it cant be that bad
oh
oh noooooo
Yep, the n-word kitty.
If you are curious, you can read more about the man and find him nearly frightened by his own shadow, thus filled with hate and bias to the brim. His fragile antics are probably why he wrote a lot of foundational horror stories. Guy was clearly unwell in the head department, and although it gave us a lot of creative lit, all of it is stained with things he was himself afraid of.
Lol, apparently I'm a double threat against H.P.L. I was first chair flute and first chair violin.
A kender with two different instruments AND two chairs, you say? 🤔
