I just finished "At the Mountains of Madness" the other day, and I enjoyed it more than most, if not all, of Lovecraft's stories so far. On the one hand, it reminded me pleasantly of some more modern science fiction, like The X-files. But it also seemed more nuanced than much of his other work. In the end, he left room for the Old Ones to be more than monsters; they were people. It's the first time he's seen humanity in the "other."

Just finished "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward". Parts of it probably could have afforded to be cut down, and other parts could have been elaborated on. I'm a fan of not necessarily spelling everything out for your audience, but I'm not sure Lovecraft always knew when to give more or less information. #horror
