Spooky! And grotesque. I loved it. The way HP crafted these stories. Very smart horror. Not enough writers like this nowadays.

Not as good as the previous volume edited by Joshi. This one was actually a struggle to finish. There were some stories better than others, but even they were not as good as the standouts in the previous volume overall. Not to mention, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, which is the bulk of the book I couldn't stand. I actually dropped it 1/4th of the way which is a shame because I thought I liked Lovecraft's longer form fiction better, and this one is one of the longest.
Stuff I enjoyed:
The Tomb (this was hilarious Germans really be like that)
Beyond the Wall of Sleep
Under the Pyramids
Pickman's Model
At the Mountains of Madness (I'd consider this the weakest in this list but I loved the arctic setting)
The Thing on The Doorstep
I didn't regret reading this but not sure if I'll pick up the next and last volume of his works in this set edited by ST Joshi. Though there is at least one more story I definitely want to try out.
