The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft

2.0

---

A mixed bag. Probably better read one story here or there, rather than straight through, as many of the stories start to feel repetitive. The style didn't quite work for me, as the stories read like journal entries, with very little dialogue apart from some long monologues, such as Zadok in "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." Most of the protagonists feel like the same author self-insert, with one exception being "The Outsider," which I liked more than most of the stories. Worth reading a few of the stories like the ones mentioned above and the title story.
