Audiobook. Was really dope right up until the point where he started writing some of the most racist shit I’ve ever listened to in my life.

اي خياله السوداوي والمرعب ده !
الرواية اتكتبت سنة ١٩٣٩
بس مرعبة واحنا في سنة ٢٠٢٣
مش عشان الكائنات السمكية الغريبة لأنها بالنسبالي فكرة طفولية بس بالنسبة إن الرواية اتكتبت سنة ١٩٣٩ ف عادي
لكن عشان المقدمة المشوقة المرعبة اللي خلتني مكملش قرايتها بالليل وكملتها الصبح
شوية ملل في وصفه للهروب بس انا قلبي وقف معاه وهو في السكة الحديد
البلوت تويست مرعب بجد
يمكن ده السبب انه عرف يهرب منهم اصلا
رواية عظمة

As with other Lovecraft stories I have read, there are slow sections with brain dumps, plus the usual xenophobia. However, this story had more action and a more interesting ending.
