The Weird Shadow Over Innsmouth & Other Stories of the Supernatural by H.P. Lovecraft

3.0

This is the second short story I've read by HP Lovecraft. I enjoyed this title more than "The Call of Cthulu" and found the twist to be intriguing although poorly foreshadowed. This seemed less disjointed than some of his other works but I still find the intrigue and suspense to be poorly lacking. Lovecraft excels, it seems, in being overly descriptive and boring at times. I'm giving his entire collection a chance and hope to find that my opinion will begin to change as I come to terms with his literary style. I am fascinated by the Cthulu mythos and by Lovecraft himself so it saddens me that I have been somewhat underwhelmed by his writing.
