I’ve been listening to Lovecraft audiobooks and at no point he mentions Jewish people in any of his work. His racism and hate was very blatant towards black people, native American and foreigners, especially of Asian origins. In one of his stories, he explicitly attack kurds, black and Chinese people all at once.
I genuinely want to know where people got the info that he hated jews. I mean, it’s not like it’s something Lovecraft wouldn’t do, but what perplex me is his hate for Jewish people is often the only thing people mention, while his hate for black and Asian people was so much more explicit in his work.
Dude was afraid of basically everyone that wasn’t Northeastern White, his life history makes it sorta understandable, he barely liked being around people at all it seems

Read his biography and the letters he wrote outside of his fiction. He has several antisemitic rants in personal letters he had written.
I always hated Reanimator because it was one of the few times he actually described a black man and it was awful lol
