The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories
by H.P. Lovecraft
I might be a bit obsessed with Lovecraft. I first read him as a teen, late at night after lights out. His works were among the few sci-fi I read when I was younger, as it was a genre I didn’t get into until recent years. I sleep next to a Cthulhu wall tapestry, and he watches me each night while I sleep. Lovecraft has a unique way of telling stories.
I enjoyed some of the annotations that furthered parts of each story, but others felt unnecessary to me. And perhaps with fewer unnecessary annotations, they could have made the text larger and easier to read. The graphics were iffy, but it’s a black and white book on low-quality paper, so I understand there are limitations. But some of them were washed out, and I feel it does a disservice to the stories. Book quality aside, I like the stories they put in this collection, as The Rats in the Walls is one of my favs.
