Soft pick. Includes everything a true Lovecraftian story needs, but didn't suck me in as much as some of his other stories. It's well thought-through, with different main characters and different layers. There are some scenes that will stay with me, what might isn't a good thing, when it comes to Lovecraft 😉 But it just shows what a talented story writer he is.

This is one of HPL's longer works (a short novel). It shares plot elements with other HPL works but is unique enough to not be boring to someone who has read his other material. Though some parts are a little slow, overall the pacing is good and the element of mystery and rising horror is excellent. I was worried about long, tangential excursuses typical in some of his longer tales, but was pleasantly surprised that there weren't any of note.

I wasn‘t familiar with the original story by Lovecraft, and I leave this graphic novel adaptation only somewhat aware of what that story was. I feel like I got it but I didn‘t fully understand it, which is a shame. The art is super creepy. #scarathlon #teamslaughter 2 pts for being on theme, #scaryscavengerhunt matte cover

A BBC radio adaptation of Lovecraft's classic novella. Possibly only available for UK based Littens, but you never know...
