HP Lovecraft is to science fiction/horror what Ian Fleming is to spy novels, and I don't mean that in a positive way.

It’s like when you pay extra for a more ornate coffin but you’re still dead and none the better for it

A quite dense short story collection with heavier novellas at the end. Unsure if I feel it is the right time to give those last two novellas my attention. Enjoyed the first two thirds of the collection!

My first time reading any of Lovecraft's work, and I wasn't really impressed. Even beyond the blatant xenophobia that pervades his work, I simply didn't find the horrors he described quite that horrifying. I don't think time treated the wok kindly (once more, even beyond the BLATANT and PERVASIVE xenophobia)--the once titillating and unimaginable horrors are honestly well within my understanding.
