Well, this definitely makes me like the movie less. Also, myself as apparently I too need to be overcome with dread at what will happen to sweet Doris Day because when I read this, I was like, 'What? That's it? And he never even got the book? And he just KEPT GOING to more colleges?'The coolest thing about reading these so far has been finding out where bits and pieces of overused horror conventions have come from - the suspiciously overdeveloped child, for one.Though even in this case, it had to have come from somewhere else originally. But I tend to think that in a global, inclusive, Jungian kind of way - unless I am in a particularly bad mood.Like the caveman who accuses the other cave man of 'stealing' his story about a Saber-Tooth-Tiger hunt and the other cave man says, 'no I didn't - in this one, the claws and fangs are MUCH bigger.' I believe nothing is really original - but I actually find that kind of comforting. I think the most I like about Lovecraft is how he writes the atmosphere of his stories so dark and scaring, full of shadows and ill creatures, both human and monsters. Dunwich is full of both, these depraved community filled with superstition and terrors, and the horrible monster unleashed on this unaware town. I didnt know that it was linked to the Chutulu book, I liked that touch. Also, I must say that my edition has this absolutely amazing (and scary) ilustrations by Santiago Caruso, simply marvelous. But I must warn you, I you are easily impressed, dont read Lovecraft :)
Do You like book El Horror De Dunwich (1928)?
de los pocos libros que de verdad me causan terror, recomendado totalmente, excelente.
