A review by rachyarchy
The Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft by H.P. Lovecraft

3.0

Didn't really understand the whole Cthulu thing so I enlightened myself.
Following a Lovcraft 101 essential story guide

I read:
At the Mountains of Madness
Call of Cthulu
Shadow over Innsmouth
Dunwich Horror

these gave me a good general over view of Cthulu the Elder ones and the necronomicon and despite the unsettling racist elements and the overuse of the word decadent I did enjoy them. I liked Lovecraft's style of writing and the stories were engaging and gripping.

In the future I will probably come back to this and read The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath as it really intrigues me (mainly because it features a city of cats)
