Book Pickle’s Reviews > H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction > Status Update

Just finished, “The Alchemist.” What a wonderful story! It’s not as deeply developed in its horror or plot as it could have been, but the twist at the end is quite effective. I’m also enjoying the “accessible literary” prose, as I call it.

This isn’t a new “I read more,” I just wanted to say that “The Beast in the Dark” is a great first story. It sets up Lovecraft’s tone wonderfully.
