Fearless wretch
Insanity
He watches
Lurking beneath the sea
Timeless sleep
Has been upset
He awakens
Hunter of the shadows is rising
Immortal
In madness you dwell

Definitely not his best, but definitely his best known. Still very enjoyable.

This was interesting but I feel kind of let down? The made up mythology is super intriguing but the writing was kind of boring? Just feel really so-so about this one.

Libby1 I really hated this one. There was so much racism running throughout. I understand that it‘s of it‘s time, but I thought it was a major theme and not an undertone. 6y
Malisa @Libby1 yeah, that's another thing. I found it a bit off putting because of that as well. I think I prefer a lot of the stuff that came out of it instead of the actual story itself. 6y
Libby1 That makes sense, @Malisa . 😊 6y

Maybe it's because I just finished Call of Cthulhu, but these holiday lights seriously look like tentacles coming up out of the earth to me.

MelissaSue81 Is that not what there supposed to be?! 6y
sebrittainclark @MelissaSue81 I'm really not sure. I guess I'll find out once the lights are turned on. 6y
Karkar Totally agree with you! 6y

3/5

I think I'm more of a fan of Lovecraftian inspired stories than actual Lovecraft. The premise is interesting, if told in a very different style than it would be today, and I never felt hooked by the story. Mostly the narrator tells you how horrifying everything is rather than letting you feel it.

I also find it impossible to separate the work from the author's xenophobia and racism, which obviously affects my feelings on it.

Chrissyreadit I completely agree. 6y
Gezemice I could not stand this story. Mostly because of what you said. However, not being a fan of creepy stories to begin with, I found mo redeeming quality in it whatsoever... 6y
BekahB I agree! I enjoy the space he created in weird fiction but I really prefer to see what other people do with it. 🐙 6y
sebrittainclark @Gezemice yeah, if you don't like creepy stories, there's not much to enjoy about this one. 6y
sebrittainclark @BekahB yeah, I definitely like other's takes on his ideas more than I enjoyed this. 6y

I seem to do better with short reads on Serial Reader, so I'm giving this a try. H.P Lovecraft is pretty hit or miss with me, but I do recall reading a story of his that involved an army of cats?

Pumpkin carving time, and my attempted at a rough Cthulhu inspired pumpkin. 🎃

BookishFeminist yes! I love it!! 🎃🐙 8y
stargazerblue49 Please tell me you were also listening to the Metallica song while you were carving??? 🎃🕸🕷 8y
JPeterson @BookishFeminist Thanks! I'm so happy with how it turned out. @stargazerblue49 Haha, sadly no. But it was a Halloween playlist that included monster mash, some meatloaf, and rocky horror picture show. 👻 8y

So happy that @SerialReader added The Call of Cthulhu. Somehow seems appropriate these days.(need a Cthulhu sticker, I think.)
