review 1: Esta vez Lovecraft no me dejó con las ganas de una resolución a sus misterios sino que se pasó de la raya u.u (ya sé, soy la gata flora). Describe todo con lujo de detalles y para mi gusto con superabundancia de adjetivos en la línea de "fétido"o "deforme", que en tanta cantidad tienen un efecto contrario, no te ayudan a imaginarte los horrores, sino que te dispersan (o al menos eso me pasó a mi).Otra cosa que no me gustó es lo terriblemente racista que es este cuento, pero de nuevo, me alejaba del hilo principal y me impedía meterme por completo en la historia.Es una pena, porque si no hubiera caído tanto en esos excesos me hubiera gustado mucho más.
review 2: A great story, I thought! Lovecraft uses his style of prose quite nicely in my opinion at ... morethe end and the storyline and frightful atmosphere are very well presented. Even though the key basis for this story was xenophobia, I honestly don't feel that this marred it, as most do. The racism adds something of vulgar touch to the horror in my opinion and Lovecraft can be excused for being human with faults like the rest of us :) Obviously, I'd rather he wasn't a racist, but there isn't much that I can do; he is dead, after all. This tale is wonderfully frightening. less
