"Es war, als seien diese Nachtmahrgipfel die Pfeiler eines schauerlichen Tores zu verbotenen Traumsphären und labyrinthischen Abgründen von Zeit und Raum und unbekannten Dimensionen."
Lovecraft knows how to set a scene, but he doesn’t really know how to fill it with life. The whole lore is fascinating, but this really reads like a scientific paper. Many many descriptions, nothing about the characters, some action in the last like 50 pages. I guess there’s a reason he usually stuck to short stories.
