You seriously don't know what you're missing
However, no knowledge required to play, you'll get the necessary information right here, in the same way as with any game not based on specific books.
But if you'd like to read any, I can recommend a lot
Would you like something on the really unnerving side, or better something lighter?

Might be something you
Know with your "haiku and verse
For better or worse"

Would still give me a case of
Values dissonance
Never played before
Always stood on the sidelines
Did commentary...
Happily kibbitz
Comment with nothing at stake?
Yes, I will do that!
Just commentary
Will be more than fine, some from
Beyond do love art

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe this might help. However, I find his stories in their full written form very good, though various in that regard. The issue of racism is a separate topic for discussion, but just to state my opinion - Lovecraft learned and changed. And observing this change provides additional understanding for his stories and characters - and gives hope and an example on how a person with initially racist views can come to understand better what he despised and hated.
