The Dunwich Horror

Now I really get why people describe Lovecraft as florid prose. I had to check the dictionary multiple times. Love it though.

The story was told as a historical recounting of what happened at a backwater place called Dunwich. What's impressive is the horrific atmosphere and suspense, and the feeling of an otherworldly dread, that the words managed to evoke. It really helps to establish the world of Cthulhu.

Going to keep reading the rest of Lovecraft's stories.
