Slowly working my way through a collection (as I am connected up to electrodes on physiotherapy!).

Growing on me - actually like the atmosphere thing - although still see signs of strain in some of the stories.

Other patients think I am mad - enough pain and horror around us in the room said one - but he's not got it - it's the 'angst'; the horror of realisation; the existential horror Lovecraft is trying to tap into I suspect.

Bravo! I'd say that's exactly it. It's the way he develops that theme that makes for a lot of the richness in his work, as well....
