Very entertaining, enjoyable tribute to an older style of first-person narrative that reminds me a lot of Poe. Lovecraft created archetypal sci-fi themed horror, which is generally quite good. At some point I'd like to read more of his work. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1027995?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
