H.P. Lovecraft: Der Flüsterer im Dunkeln. Eine Horrorgeschichte. (Paperback, German language, Suhrkamp) 3 Sterne

Review of 'Der Flüsterer im Dunkeln. Eine Horrorgeschichte.' on 'Goodreads'

3 Sterne

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Whisperer in Darkness" isn't your typical horror story. It chills you not with gore, but with the unsettling notion of alien entities lurking beyond human comprehension. The story follows Albert Wilmarth, a scholar who investigates rumours of strange creatures in Vermont. The narrative unfolds through letters and recordings, creating a sense of intimacy and drawing you deeper into Wilmarth's world. However, Lovecraft's writing style can be dense, repetitive and archaic. If you're new to his work, be prepared for a unique reading experience, which might be different from what you expect.
