| Re: And your first Lovecraft tale was ....?
The Rats in the Walls.
Looking back, I would have thought the story would have seemed too slow for me. There is not a lot going on through 3/4 of the story. But I think what kept me very interested (besides his reputation) was the way Lovecraft writes as well as the little morsels of information he drops along the way.
It seems like this story (and some others) was 'hyperbolic'. But I've only read through 9 so far.
He generally explains enough (for me) to at least satisfy as an explaination... but I'd love to know what that lost note DID say! |
