I enjoyed this story more than The Call of Cthulhu. At least this story was somewhat frightening and while it was still there the racism wasn’t as prevalent as in that story. The only part that I had trouble with was the drunk vagrants’s dialogue it was written in a horrible accent and went on for way too long.

What made me pick it up: I think this one was on the Knox County Library Read City USA list? But the cover art got me and it sounded interesting.
Overall rating: I think one of the important things to remember with 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' is that it was originally written in 1931. After you get past that, (it's clear in the style, language, and tone) 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' is a delightfully mild horror about adventure and becoming what we've been warned to stay away from. Part sci-fi, part internal debate on nature versus nurture, and part absurd fantasy, I'm not mad that I read 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth.'

Instead of reviewing this fantastic, terrifying tale, I'm just going to share the lyrics to Ocean Man by Ween. I have a theory that this song might have been inspired by The Shadow Over Innsmouth. (It definitely was not, but one can dream).
Ween - Ocean Man
Ocean man, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand
Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe
Is a real trip
Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean man, can you see through the wonder of amazement
At the Oberman
Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth
To the childlike man
Ocean man, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ween - Ocean Man
Ocean man, take me by the hand
Lead me to the land that you understand
Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe
Is a real trip
Ocean man, the crust of a tan man imbibed by the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
Ocean man, can you see through the wonder of amazement
At the Oberman
Ocean man, the crust is elusive when it casts forth
To the childlike man
Ocean man, the sequence of a life form braised in the sand
Soaking up the thirst of the land
