H. P. Lovecraft Tales of Horror by H.P. Lovecraft

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

4.5

Each story is interesting and unique despite repeating concepts and characters between them. There are a lot of descriptors that allow for a clear idea of setting - albeit sometimes too descriptive that you can lose track of what’s going on in the plot. 

There are many glimpses into H. P. Lovecraft’s fear of outside influence and other cultures, especially in descriptions of people and names given to animals or supernatural beings. This is something to consider before settling into any of these stories.

Overall this is a good set of horror stories for a reader with the stomach for it.
