This was an interesting short story, from which I especially liked the horrid imagery and the unreliable narrator. I think the idea of the modern being consumed by the ancient is a unique concept and Lovecraft effectively illustrates it.

The first great short story by Lovecraft. It’s bite sized but accomplishes everything Lovecraftian horror is known for. Show this to your friends if you’re introducing them to the author.
