In the Vault | H.P. Lovecraft
Mehso-so

There are valid issues with Lovecraft's personal views which I will not reiterate because they are well documented. Speaking only of the short story, I found it a straightforward and somewhat predictable tale. It lacked the really great atmosphere of Lovecraft, but is so short that one might as well read it to polish off the HPL corpus. Could be told as a campfire ghost story without any controversy and would likely elicit indifference.
