About book The Dunwich Horror (1928)

La historia me gustó y la forma en la que está escrito no es pesada como en otros cuentos que tuve el placer de leer. Pero las últimas 20 páginas me llevó varios días leerlas y esto alargó lo que llamo "la tortura de Lovecraft", yo quería terminar los cuentos de una vez pero solo se me hacían cada vez más largos u.u Así que no lo pude disfrutar del todo. Es posible que tardara en leerlo no por culpa del libro sino porque estuve cansada, pero la sensación de amargura estuvo presente así que no puedo darle 4 estrellas. I am a big admirer or H.P. Lovecraft's works, and while The Dunwich Horror is an essential part of his mythos, I actually found it less engaging than a lot of his other stories. It would serve as an excellent introduction to Lovecraft, but personally I just didn't feel the "what on earth is going on, what might happen on the next page?" feeling I get from so many of his works.I judge it so harshly only because it is Lovecraft, it's still head and shoulders above the competition (a bit like criticizing a Pixar film). It has the signature elements that make Lovecraft so unique and memorable, it was probably more the structure of the story than anything that left me wanting more. It was written when he was transitioning over into novellas and he was still figuring out how to write longer stories.I still liked it, don't get me wrong!
