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.
