The Dark Worlds of H.P. Lovecraft, Vol 3 by H.P. LovecraftMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another collection of 4 Lovecraft horror tales. All creepy. Much of the credit goes to the narrator, who at times struck me as a fellow with a chest wound having a hard time putting much air into his deep and croaking voice, drawing you closer and closer…. The longest story, “Herbert West: Re-Animator”, must have been written for serialization. It consists of 5 short chapters, and each chapter begins with some repeating of earlier bits. The subject of this one is reanimating corpses. The other, shorter stories cover different topics, gruesomely described, but not as gruesome as the previous books in this series. Some racial “insensitivity” in evidence here. Lovecraft would not have won any PC awards.
