It never really grabbed me, he keeps telling us how terrible and horrible and hideous things are, and it's just... boring. I'm glad it was short. I guess I maybe could enjoy it as a piece of kitch  |
That's funny because I tried Lovecraft this week ("The Shadow Over Innsmouth"). I read half of it and right now I'm feeling the same way. Sometimes in the story, the character is just feels fear for no apparent reason and describes a lot of things as undescribable
