First of all, if I was rating the work that Ruth at cthulhuchick.com has done in compiling this collection, I'd give it a full 5 stars. She did an excellent job creating the e-book.I had some very good memories of reading Lovecraft, and most of the stories still hold up well. What I could not get over though was the blatant racism. I realize that it was written in a different time, but it left me unable to fully appreciate the stories.It was great to finally read the full Cthulhu mythos in orderI'm going to read the whole of this book in 2019, 2020, in order (most recently read at top.)12/Jan/20: 34: The Unnamable: Up Next...12/Jan/20: 34: The Rats in the Walls: Elegantly written with little hints thrown here and there, but then it turns right on the end into unutterable horror... 5 stark raving mad stars.08/Jan/20: 33: The Lurking Fear: Break out the shovels. Degenerate colonials have become loathsome abominable mole-rat-beast men rising from underground lairs to feast upon the
I read the half of the stories, mesmerized by Lovecraft's style and atmosphere but I need to have a break and get away from this eeriness for a while. When it comes to Lovecraft, everyone mentions 'the Call of Ktulu' but there is more to it although I felt reading the same creepy adventures of the same character from different times for most of the stories. One thing that bugs me and makes me have mixed feelings is his racist approach to non-Europeans. Most foreigners are malicious and
A little daunted by the prolific proclivities of Lovecraft, I decided to cherry pick. General consensus pointed out the following five tales as being the cream of the crop:1. The Dragon2. The Outsider3. The Lurking Fear4. The call of Cthulu5. The Colour of outerspaceAnd, from my GR friend Bennet I picked up on The thing on the doorstep which otherwise gets few mentions but turned out to be my favourite of the bunch. Then I stopped, because GR Chris told me too. And, because Lovecraft simply cant
Review updated on May 17, 2017... yet again.As the title says this is complete work from the classic of horror genre. It is difficult to review a book with 62 different stories in it as they are quite diverse. The general idea in the majority of the stories is the forbidden knowledge. Some of the things are not meant to be known to the mankind, and meddling with them will lead to madness in the best case, or unleashing a great evil in the worst. Having said that, I need to mention that

Lovecraft was quite a strange and curious man. Likewise, his stories are a swirl of strangeness. He was able to beautifully blend the worlds of horror and science fiction to create his own world of otherworldly, cosmic horror. This is most evident in his Cthulhu Mythos. 'The Call of Cthulhu' is the beginning of this mythos and one of Lovecraft's most finely crafted stories. Wonderfully strange, terrifying, and powerful! Another story of note is 'The Shunned House.' This story is based on a house
