I'm torn on the subject of ol' Howard Philip.
On one hand, I think he's a genius. Some of the stories, concepts, creatures and ideas that Lovecraft came up with are terrifyingly brilliant.
On the other hand, I cant stand his writing style. I have nothing against "antiquated" language in most cases, I just find his prose to be incredibly dry and - dare I say? - boring.
I've read and enjoyed Call of Cthulhu and Dagon, but haven't made it through anything else, despite having started many others.
