I’ve never read anything by H. P. Lovecraft before and now I don’t know if I will.
The Call of Cthulhu is one of H. P. Lovecraft’s best known stories but it was a big flop for me. I guess people in the 1920s were scared by different things than people in the 2020s.
And let it be known, I scare easily! I rarely read horror because I generally can’t handle them and scare myself senseless. Especially at night. This wasn’t that.

a foundational horror text, could do with less overt racism though.
