It shows the amazing world living inside his head, there are very precious moments in the story and some suspense, but the over explanation and rationalization towards the Necronomicon, the tribute to Poe and others that feels to me the ambition for the story was way too big and failed not because he didn’t have the skills to paint the picture, but lacking the skills to wrap them in a good narration. What started as a suspense, horror story, turns into something cartoonish at times. The adventure on the finals parts are interesting and the scenery also, but the chronicle narration gets lost when Lovecraft goes all in in the myths, then there’s nothing reliable and you Im understand that the story was just a excuse to pain the world of the Old Ones and their story. He knew very well how things looked like, but the narration loses effect many times when he forces his myths every now and then. ![]() ![]() The next part of the story must has been Lovecraft in his top macabre imagination, creating a wonderful destination that loses hits effect in over description at times. Lovecraft on his peak, that is for good and for bad the beginning is quite exiting as a chronicle and the covert knowledge of the English language by Lovecraft helps to set the mood. It’s hard for me to give it 3 stars when there’s so much accomplished here, nevertheless, while this is H. ![]()
