Plot? Jesus Christ.

It's one of my favorites from his, but it's not perfect. I like the set up and dread he builds up during the first parts, but once the plot gets going he wraps it up so quickly. Besides the staple lovecraftian prose, that's about the only gripe I have with it. It's a nice juxtaposition of man's fear of nature and then pulling back the curtain and seeing that there is more to fear blah blah blah and so forth, nothing really ground breaking for ol' Lovey.

Lovecraft is a hack

I liked the travel log nature of the text at the beginning but then he kept repeating phrases over and over like that cursed book the necronomicon and aeon-dead and I was so bored. Then the big reveal is it's an ameoba the size of a train? Oh, so fukin spoopy. But then even worse is that after we saw that really scary thing there was a second even spoopier thing that only the guy in the plane saw and it was so spoopy he literally died.

Lovecraft wants to make me scared but he isn't good at writing, plotting or describing scary things so I'm not surprised he died in poverty.
