Having engaged with more and more work with Lovecraftian undertones recently, I thought it was about time I get around to actually reading some Lovecraft. The Colour Out of Space was interesting to read: the concept of an incomprehensible colour as a horror-element was certainly an intriguing one, and it’s clear to see how it has influenced other writers. I can’t help but think other writers have executed similar concepts with far more success, though. The narrative voice felt extremely detached and mechanical, and there was no sense of suspense, tension, or even mystery. Although I’m happy I read this and sated my curiosity, I think I’ll seek my eldtrich horrors from other sources in the future.
