H.P. Lovecraft is called the father of cosmic horror. Maybe for the time period his tales seems horrifying, but to me it was ridiculously dense. He throws so much science jargon at you that one is immediately lost. In this book in particular the scientific terms become unbearable and I just tuned most of it out…and the horror was more mental than descriptive. I am not sure what all the fuss is about with this tale, but it was very lackluster.
