did not like it

If you like to read boring stories with no characterization, no dialogue, lazy descriptions, and rampant racism, this is for you. As for me, one star is a bit too generous.

Ha! I try. :)))


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin Well now I have to read it! I have it in a collection though.


Paula W Absolutely do not read this, Melissa. Just don’t.


Andrea AKA Catsos Person I tried something by this author when it came up as botm in “catching the classics� Group. it was too “out there� for me after a few pages.


Paula W This is the short story read for the classics group this month. I hated it so much that I just can’t post anything in the group chat.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin Wow! I think a lot of my friends love this book. It must be pretty bad with certain things! I think I have an idea 😕


Friend to God Being a brown dude it was a little weird to read all of Lovecraft’s works. (In one story a character has a cat named “niggerman�.) So obviously it’s just like the oddest thing. But I did appreciate his work and it’s easy to see how influential his body of work is in so many different realms of fiction and moviemaking and not just horror.

Flybyreader The simplest yet most effective hate review ever written :) I don’t think I can even touch the book now! Prejudice well injected, thanks for the review :)

Very welcome. I aim to please. :)


Renee I didn't care much for this one either. I gave it 2 stars. I read it late at night and instead of keeping me up like I thought it would it was putting me to sleep!
