While I love Lovecraft, I just couldn’t deal with the pacing of this story; how does such a short story manage to feel so long? The concept is fascinating and I’d love to know more about the creature, but the creature is only actively described and discussed in the last handful of pages. I wanted to love it, but it fell a bit short.
