text The Graphic Novella of Lovecraft

Adaptations are never easy if not done right. My love for H.P. Lovecraft is by far, not the easiest but it is his stories that I enjoyed, even though I read only one collection of his stories (The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories, which I had read and reviewed). Now, this recently released collecti...

Otro pequeño relato de H. P. Lovecraft muy interesante sobre los sueños, los astros, una ciudad y sus enemigos. En lo personal este relato me gustó mucho, se ve el misticismo con el que Lovecraft manifiesta su afición por los astros, los sueños y los misterios, un autor adelantado a su época. Lo rec...

Interesante relato de H. P. Lovecraft sobre los sueños, sus misterios y la realidad, pero algo racista. Lo recomiendo si les late este autor.

text What does it all mean? Read this for the Journey not the Characters

“What does it all mean?” – narrator of House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson I bought Wildside Press's The William Hope Hodgson Megapack: 35 Classic Works primarily to read one of his most well cited works: The House on the Borderland.

text The Best of HP Lovecraft ★★★☆☆

This is my first Lovecraft, so I can’t judge whether this particular collection has all his “best”. It did have the stories that were recommended to me as being representative of his work: The Dunwich Horror, The Colour Out of Space, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and of course, The Call of Cthulhu. I e...

text At the Mountains of Madness

Nope. This is the second time I've tried Lovecraft, I've given him more than a fair shake, and I'm going with a solid No. Even setting aside the problematic social issues, I just don't like his writing at all. Like many writers who hit on a big idea that births a genre (or mini-genre) he can't actua...

text Excellent theme collection

Two encompassing themes to this collection: primarily, the evil of solitude, or how solitude equates with or drives one to madness; then boundaries, blurring and pushing them (of reality, knowledge, perception, life and death, even geography)Celephaïs: Gorgeous in spite of the cold reality. From Kur...

I slogged through it- just barely! Had a hard time reading and understanding any of the visual descriptions.

text Dagon

Siguiendo con H.P. Lovecraft, Dagón me ha parecido el preludio de los Mitos de Cthulhu (ya que fue escrito antes) aunque es independiente de éstos, creo que sirvió de inspiración al autor para crear el Universo de Cthulhu. Dagón tiene ese misticismo único de Lovecraft, es un relato corto y te atrap...

text The Alchemist

Siendo una de las primeras obras, este relato es excelente si quieres comenzar con H. P. Lovecraft, es interesante, corto, te atrapa y la narrativa es muy buena, lo que hace de este pequeño relato muy comprensible. Lo recomiendo si quieren comenzar con Lovecraft.
