Haven't had a lot of time, though given they are all basically short stories, I've read two so far. (Screw reviewing after each one, I think I'll get to into it to stop. )

Anway, as on the list, first off was The Beast in the Cave. In all honesty, not a whole lot happens in this story. It is nothing more then a single event in a mans life, but in the short while that it took place, Lovecraft does amazingly well at setting up an atmosphere and allowing you to see, as it were, into the mind of the man in the cave. I wasn't at all surprised by the twist at the end, but on the same token I don't think that's what he was going for anyway.

The second was The Alchemist. A short story about a cursed man that spans over the actions of his life. Again, not a whole lot happens, but H.P. continues to create an amazing atmosphere with a his words. On a whole I enjoyed it more, though there was a strecth of story at the end that really didn't need to be there. (SPOILER)After he throws his torch at the Wizard, he goes to the underground lab, and comes back before he is killed. It seemed like an utterly pointless treck, and didn't really improve on the story, character, or atmosphere in any way.

Up next is "The Tomb" and "Dagon."
