"I read this book mostly because I love the movie Re-Animator which is based on Lovecrafts short story. The other short stories in here are really good in a morbid kinda way."
"Not a good book for people who are new to Lovecraft. It follows his stories about Madness from early writings, up to a couple of his pinnacle pieces (namely At the Mountains of Madness). A better way to go would be a Best Of type of compilation. If you're already a lover of Lovecraft, it might be interesting to see the themes that he starts with in his early work, and later rounds out to create some of his masterpieces; and to see how his sense of narrative developed over time. But that wasn't why I was reading it.
By the time I hit The Horror at Red Hook, I was tired enough of the racism and repetitive adjectives that I decided maybe it was time for a new obsession. It's been a fun ride with the Lovecraft, though."
