Beautiful, poetic and bonechilling. This is as good as even the best of Lovecraft. I'm going to have to read the entire collection now.

A rare story that still has the power to alarm the reader.

It seems awkward to call Chambers "Lovecraftian" since it was Lovecraft who ripped off Chambers. Still, I think it'll fit in from other books with that tag.

Quite enjoyable. Not always as crazy weird as Lovecraft's stuff, but a much better writer.
