Summary: H.P. Lovecraft. The only one master of cosmic horror.
Review: This was the very first book I read, written by Howard Philips Lovecraft.
A friend had tipped me about H.P. Lovecraft, and when I was at
the library looking for fact-books about old scandinavian religions
for a homework in school I took the chance of looking after the author
my friend had tipped me about.
I had ben reading a lot of fantasy and also a bit science fiction
at that time, but this was different.
It was, and is still - I've read it many times over and over, an usual
horror-tale elegantly mixed with the special spicy cosmic horror, which is
so specific for H.P. Lovecraft.
I won't tell you anything of the story because it's very hard,
or even impossible to find the right words to describe something
so big and elegant without makeing sound banal and patethic.
Instead, I let you see for your self. Next time you're visiting
the library - look for Howard Philips Lovecraft. Or why not look for it
right away here and now. I bet you won't be able to put the book away till
you're finished with it. And when you're finished with it you just need
another one.
Other great short-stories written by H.P. Lovecraft is, among others the
strange "Color out of time and space" which is flooded with cosmic
and strange horror. This one is also totally different compared with
"The case of Charles Dexter Ward.
Please have indulgence with all eventual misspellings, though I am used to
talk, write and read in swedish.
P.S. Everyone who likes H.P. Lovecraft, and of course everyone else,
feel free to contact me.
