The first couple of stories were pretty interesting, but after a while the stories tend to get repetitive and predictable with nearly identical plots and themes. Nonetheless, it was worth it just to read the original story of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Not as scary as I'd hoped, but I think it's me, not Lovecraft. Also, the stories I did read were so similar, I couldn't imagine reading an entire book of that. That being said, it wasn't bad. Just not for me.
Gothic 19th century horror set in New England. I remember reading Lovecraft stories when I was in high school and loving them. They are a bit old fashioned but still scary.
Me gustó, siempre es bueno leer Lovecraft. Ya no me sorprenden sus historias porque lo conozco bien, pero nunca me voy a arrepentir de seguir leyéndolo.
Algunos cuentos mejores que otros, pero en general me encantó.
Extremely intriguing musings on existential horror beyond human imagination. Completely based in xenophobia and racism - which unavoidably spoils the reading of it, but important to understand as a basis of modern horror and scifi.

Lovecraft's tales are chillingly brilliant. I did find myself getting occasionally bogged down by overindulgent descriptions, but in hindsight they don't take away from the tales, rather add to them, as they are required for the stories he is telling. The original cosmic horror at its finest, finished just in time to start playing the new Call of Cthulhu video game, they've got me right in the mood and I'm definitely going to be exploring more of Lovecraft's haunting prose.
