Definitely, it's not one of my favorites. This tale is a typical pulp magazine sci-fi short story with some of the traditional sci-fi tropes from the 1930's, which makes it somehow different from other Lovecraftian classics such as The Call of Cthulhu, Mountain of Madness, etc... Lots of tech! Too much technology and not that cosmic terror feel...

It seems this one lacks from depicting these eldritch horrors as abstract entities, a pivotal mark of the Lovecraftian cosmic horror. But it's ok, it has everything else from the author and I must point out the buzzing and creepy voice... That was really creepy...
