After a couple of days hiatus from Lovecraft I have turned with this less than stellar one.
It may be just me, but I found this one less than engaging.
Progress: 7738/54313

The lore and the ending are the most interesting things here. Story is creepy from start to finish. Also I was impressed by battle with the cosmic being (?). Nice stuff, Lovecraft.

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.

A rather unusual story when compared to Lovecraft's other work. It is more similar in theme to something by Junji Ito.

Las historias son muy interesantes pero la escritura es muy densa.
