I do not like the misogyny in “The Thing on the Doorstep“, but I was happy to learn that Lovecraft abandoned his racist thought when he got older (if the afterword is to be believed). This book includes “The Colour Out of Space“, which is one of the best stories Lovecraft has ever written (imo). It's so tense and frightening. I loved rereading it and it was just as impressive as the first time.
Picture includes our own Thing on the Doorstep.
