Dagon

A short story that was apparently one of the author's earlier works. Despite its short length, it's obviously Lovecraft's style. The build-up to tension, an eerie setting, and a did-it-really-happen effect.

Given that I've read the more substantive later works, this one feels like unexplored potential. The story went by too quickly and ended too soon. I think there's the potential it could've been expanded more. But then again, it might've achieved a different effect.
