H. P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction by H.P. Lovecraft

4.0

I've only read a couple of these, not limited to the colour out of space, the dunwich horror, at the mountains of madness (sort of), and the whisperer in darkness... I guess the only negative thing I really have to say about what I've read is that sometimes lovecraft gets so invested in the details and lore of his creatures and ancient civilization stuff that it clogs up the pacing and ruins the story (I was never able to get through the mountains of madness because of the long long LONG bit of exposition/worldbuilding in the second half) but stories like the colour out of space and the whisperer in darkness are just top notch horror and the atmosphere is insanely weird and unique and awesome and really go to show why this stuff was so influential
