Individual stories are good. The atmospheric horror that the author builds and the final pay off is wonderful. But it is a task to read the whole book at a go. These stories were written in several magazines over the course of decades and these are meant to be read like that. Maybe one story every month or so. I tried to read the whole book at a go and it severely hampered the experience. But there is no denying that Lovecraft crafts great stories...
