hibiscus 's review for:
The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories
by H.P. Lovecraft
Lovecraft is like a trashy indie band that you still go crazy for )
The collection I got was a compilation of several cycles.
Cthulhu cycle: All sorts of extraneous and inhuman creatures and forces. I like the way it puts mankind at the periphery of the world order, which btw is a very hostile and irrational place. By far the most profound stuff was in here.
Dream cycle: Another source of irrationality and dread, but there were also a few lucid stories.
What I called the Frankenstein cycle: Was overly gory and repelling. The stories were repetitive, dumb, and generally lacked any esthetics.
