TomeAlone reviewed HP Lovecrafts the Dunwich Horror by Joe R. Lansdale
None
2 stars
Nothing really special. As described, the titular horror seems kinda goofy, and Lovecraft tries way too hard to sell the terror and madness of the events. I know that's his schtick, breathlessly throwing a thesaurus at the reader, and taking purple prose to unheard of heights, but I think it just doesn't work for me.
I like his ideas, just not his execution.
