The Horror at Martin's Beach by Sonia H. Greene, H.P. Lovecraft
4.0
A very effective short story; it’s been a while since I’ve read Lovecraft but I’m hesitant to see this as his story, since he was a reviser & editor. To me, this is clearly Sonia Greene: her descriptions are vivid, her vocab direct & clear to help readers visual what the characters are experiencing while keeping the actual nature of the horror obscured.
The setting, themes, and conclusion feel very Lovecraftian, but I wonder if that’s more a reflection of horror stories of the 1920s than this being a co-written work between Greene & Lovecraft. Would love to hear other folx’s thoughts on this.
