Dare I state "the emperor has no clothes"? I know Lovecraft is lauded as a "seminal horror author of the 20th century", but I found this novella to be a turgid piece of crap. The only horror to be found in this story is the excruciating pain the reader experiences by wading through 100 pages of Lovecraft's verbose and redundant narrative.
