bmdt 's review for:
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
by H.P. Lovecraft
so much better than the colour out of space (not to be confused with the colour of magic or the colour and the shape). felt much more legible. i think maybe it was because it’s a creepy town being investigated whereas the colour out of space was a much more singular location. but also it just read better
felt very spooky at times, i got the real feeling of going insane when trying to understand wtf zadok was saying. it was 20 paragraphs of really painful dialect writing and then just when i thought it was over there were another 25. it was genuinely spooky but god never again
fortunately there’s, hilariously, a translation on reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/Lovecraft/comments/8a6ozt/i_cant_make_out_what_old_zadok_allen_says/dwwqcf5/)
my understanding is that the audiobooks are generally a better way to experience lovecraft but i’m sure i am not going to take that advice for the next book i read
i thought the protag got crazy pretty quickly at the end and maybe that could have been spread out a bit more, but i understand that most the book is a short period of time and the ending is sorta fast forwarding
but i love the random blurting out of nutso cthulhu speech; i really wish i could pull that off. just talking about whatever then going all ia-r’lyehl cihuiha flgagnl id ia! would be so great
