What are the worst and most forgettable stories written by H.P Lovecraft? I thought Beast in The Cave was boring as hell and had a fanfiction-tier ending, and A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson was a chaotic clusterfuck to read through. I also thought Dagon was very overrated, considering it's constantly hyped up as one of his better stories and all it ended up being was a few pages about some guy randomly ending up in a place that looks and smells like shit before being driven insane by a creature that he can't describe. For the most forgettable i'd instantly say The Alchemist, given the fact that nobody seems to fucking remember it.

Rats in the walls was cliche garbage.

Dagon is good if you know what Dagon is mythologically.

All i know is that he is a hebrew god, and knowing what he is doesn't excuse the fact that 3/4ths of the story is the MC telling you nonstop how fucking scary everything was without actually going into detail on it.
>"I was in a really scary fucking place. I can't really describe it besides it being really muddy and smelling like shit, but trust me it was scary. There were even some dead creatures (that i can't describe because they were so spooky) in the mud. I ended up finding these (REALLY SCARY) hieroglyphics showing these fish people and their faces were so fucking ugl- i mean scary- that i can't even truly describe them. Suddenly a giant fish guy rose up from the water and he was so scary it's impossible to put into words. He was so scary i went insane, and now that i don't have any drugs to chase away the spooks i'm now going to kill myself because i can't live my life any longer due to how scared i am."- some fag who got spooked
Seriously though this shit only works if the person reading it doesn't stop and realize that it's only scary because some washed out drug addict said it was. This is like a horror movie where nothing scary is directly shown and the audience is expected to be scared because everyone else in the movie won't stop talking about how scared they are.

He was a Babylonian fish-headed god that came from the depths in the night to give humanity knowledge and civilization.
I haven't read Dagon in a very long time so I cannot properly explain what I am trying to get at.

I would tell you but I forgot about them.

I really like the scenario he describes, but the story isn't particularly scary.

A lot. Much of it is Pre Call of Cthulhu after that there is a noticeable increase in quality.
But Red Hook, Is the biggest one that is easy to forget.
