arnith87 's review for:

3.0

Most of the stories in this book read to me like slightly altered drafts of one another. After a while, I became bored and it was difficult to finish the rest of them.

That said, The Rats in the Walls and The Colour Out of Space legitimately frightened me when I was reading at home late at night. I'd recommend the book since Lovecraft has had such a significant influence on modern horror writing, but you definitely do not need to read all of the stories to get the gist.
