An interesting premise, and very gripping for the first couple of chapters. However, the entire horrifying aspect of the book disappears once we are greeted to a massive dump of information on the things were supposed to be afraid of. Lovecraft’s work hinges on the fear of the unknown, and this book played against itself by making the fearful things within it decidedly known.
While provoking and fascinating at first, this book became boring, drawn-out, and overwhelming to the point of neural shutdown. Simply too much information.

Very slow paced and long, but also atmospheric and sympathetic towards the things discovered.
