The Haunter of the Dark

This one just joined the ranks of my favourite Lovecraft stories. The storytelling and pacing was pretty solid. I really enjoyed the sense of mystery and paranoia that the plot induces, giving you images and impressions through description and implications as opposed to to direct storytelling. It was told from the point of view of an investigator into the death of Robert Blake, by giving us the story as they are told by the Robert Blake himself through his diary.

I'm not sure whether the finale would turn some readers off, as it raises more questions than answers, but I think that's the whole point - it perpetuates the whole feeling of strangeness and unexplainable circumstances that the author was trying to convey. I just happen to find it to be a superb ending, jacking up the creepy feeling even more.
