Honestly, I've never read a word of Lovecraft.Not that I've been avoiding it exactly, but I've just never gotten around to it and I've never been that pushed to try.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fanIt's good for what it is, but basically every story is just person activates occult item, tentacled terrors unleashed, everyone's souls eaten.
I think it makes for a good compo though.

It's really good for its era.That format was lifted from other popular fiction and mixed in with
the swiftness of the morality play seen in myth and fable. It was
new then and he was the best at it in his day. Dated as hell now.
