A fun horror read, yes, please!
I remember reading the call of Cthulhu and being like: what the hell is this, and is there more?
This is classic horror tales that still keep you on the edge of your seat, watch out guys I am about to go through all Lovecraft's books

3.5. Horror clearly based in xenophobia and racism- and repetitive because of that. I just can't deny that it was a page-turner with wonderfully haunting settings.
Officially DNF but read enough of the short stories to count it - it started pretty promisingly but it is DRY. Feels like the guy had one or maybe two ideas and just used them over and over.
I thought the stories in this collection were kind of uneven but it was quite fun seeing how they influenced authors like J.K. Rowling, Stephen King and Joe Hill. Plus I didn’t realize that Arkham Asylum came from him.
it's a classic. but god, so hard to read lol
still enjoyed it greatly once i got the gist of it !

Every story didn’t hit the same but they all were really enjoyable. I give it five stars cause I enjoyed myself the whole time while reading. I loved the title story, the colour out of space, the outsider, the picture in the room or whatever it was called, and the first one especially. You can definitely see his racism and fear coming through though which is a little shocking at times but doesn’t take away from the stories in my opinion except for one which was dumb. Overall it was fire tho.
I'm giving this a 3 because I've just realized all the horror menus I love is inspired by lovecraft so I guess it deserves some flowers, but I did not enjoy reading this. It was boring, pretentious, and racist.
Gostei muito da atmosfera que o Lovecraft cria nas histórias. O meu conto preferido é O modelo de Pickman e pretendo ler mais coisa desse autor.
