Just another white man displaying ignorance and romanticizing it by dreaming up stories. He's criminally overrated.
If you're interested in reading his whatever we should be aware of:
"He was an explicit white supremacist and his racist views were apparent in his writing."

Decided that I want to individually log all of thr longer stories at the end: The Call of Cthulhu, The Colour Out of Space, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Haunter Of the Dark. So technically I will be finishing this book. 34% is the point where the shorter stories stop and the longer ones begin.

Call of Cthulhu is the least appealing of these stories. The others i'd recommend for those who want to learn more about the history of science fiction, or to discover largely-forgotten horror tropes. Not recommended to general readers (because of predictable plotlines & racism).

A primary theme is unavoidable planetary disaster.
