itsreirei 's review for:

The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft
2.5
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I knew Lovecraft was racist but BOI did I not expect this level of xenophobia TT   It was especially disturbing to listen to, stereotypes and slurs flew left and right. 
The plot itself was fine, the writing generally holds up well but this is definitely not Lovecraft's best work. Bit boring imo, I found myself zoning out several times (and I tend to like slow storytelling). 
I guess the fact that the xenophobia was more horrifying than the story itself kinda says it all, lol.
