The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft

challenging mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot

3.5

The thing about reading Lovecraft is that he was really in need of a good editor. Some of his prose is stunning and the ideas are astonishing, but sometimes his prose is too dense or repetitive. So a mixture of glorious and terrible. He was a hideous racist even for the time period, it's disgusting. But it's important to not erase writing like this lest we deify writers who had unconscionable opinions without knowing that was the case.
