Well that just dragged on and on. There should have been action, but it just wasn't written that way.
Also trying really hard to be [b:The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket|766869|The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket|Edgar Allan Poe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568871231l/766869._SY75_.jpg|44915222]. Read that one instead, cause I don't recommend this, even though the premise interests you!

Even though you’d have to study archeology to understand all of it it’s really interesting and refreshing.
Confesso que estava à espera de mais vindo do mestre Lovecraft. O descritivo é um pouco extenso por vezes mas o conceito dum povo descoberto no gelo com formas grotescas (que ocuparam a terra muito antes do Homem) e os seus escravos que se revoltaram (compostos duma massa gelatinosa e viscosa). Interessante é a ligação feita com o Necronomicon feita pelo autor ao longo de todo o livro. Espero encontrar um Lovecraft mais aterrador noutros livros
One of the better HPLs, atmospheric, measured, and creepy, and mostly lacking his more lamentable traits.

Oh, man. I tried. I really tried. I have heard of Lovecraft and wanted to read something. Even Edward Hermann reading it couldn't save this for me.
I read for character...and none of the characters here is anything but cardboard cutouts. I read for dialogue, and there is NONE! NO dialogue. No getting to know characters by their words.
All is description...cryptic and coy. "I saw something amazing, but I'm not going to tell you directly what it is.
Blech.
If this is not the one to fall in love with Lovecraft, what is??

Spent the whole time waiting for something to happen. Didn't feel any suspense or terror or horror unfortunately
Glad to experience the original Lovecraft. I enjoy the lit based on it much more.
