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

4.0

Great book. In my opinion, H.P. Lovecraft is a master of the horror genre.

Sure, we can predict the ending of some of the stories, but one must have in consideration if he would have been able to predict it when the stories were originally written and published (from 1919 to 1935). And then there are some reviews that call Lovecraft's stories repetitive. I don't think so. Yes, they tend to use the same form, but the content and the plot are different, although sometimes with references that connect them at some higher horror level.

For me, Lovecraft's strength is the atmospheric horror. He's really a master at it.

My favourite stories:
- Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family
- Herbert West - Reanimator
- The Colour Out of Space
- The Whisperer in the Darkness

Followed closely by:
- The Picture in the House
- The Call of Ctulhu
- The Shadow Over Innsmouth
