The final chapter of this book was what finally cemented this is as one of my favourite Lovecraft stories as it went into a direction I did not expect.
Other than that the atmosphere and visuals were conveyed perfectly and the book went deeper into the masterful mythos Lovecraft has penned.

Some parts of it were well written, some parts of it were a slog, but mostly it was hard to get past the whole "metaphor for the horrors of interracial relationships" thing

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.
