macliffe's review against another edition

Didn’t love the writing style and too much zombie / cultish stuff.

erikwmj's review against another edition

Decided that I want to individually log all of thr longer stories at the end: The Call of Cthulhu, The Colour Out of Space, The Whisperer in Darkness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Haunter Of the Dark. So technically I will be finishing this book. 34% is the point where the shorter stories stop and the longer ones begin.

I don’t like horror. I think I ought to have realised this by now, but Cthulu called and I answered. Lovecraft is terribly racist, but his stories are quite interesting. Not bad, just creepy.
