Clockmaker reviewed The Dunwich Horror and Others by H. P. Lovecraft
The Dunwich Horror and Others
4 stars
In the Vault: A mortuary worker gets his comeuppance for his indifference to death. A claustrophobic escape story. 4/5 The Dunwich Horror: Very moody and full of both magical ritual and library research (yay). The rendering of backwoods speech wore on me since there was so much of it. 4/5 Pickman's Model: Painter creates images of horrible beings feasting on people. Another good example of Lovecraft's ability to gradually unroll a story to create mood and add detail. The change of location works especially well. 3/5 The Music of Erich Zann: Mysterious music from another world! Played to drive away nameless horrors, in a secret part of town that can't be found again! Right up my alley. 5/5 The Thing on the Doorstep: Great. A long story that unfolds well so that you don't feel it's length -- something Lovecraft doesn't always succeed at. You …

A long story that unfolds well so that you don't feel it's length -- something Lovecraft doesn't always succeed at. You can't help but interpret a story about a woman marrying a man just to possess and control him in a psychological way. 4/5
