Herbert West: Reanimator

    • Official Post

    This is the first Lovecraft story I've read. He gets better than this, right?

    I'm sure this was a little more intimidating before 1000 other people told similar stories about bringing the dead back to life and having them be altered and monstrous creatures. The wax head guy was a nice touch, but I kept expecting something surprising to happen and it never really did. (Aside from the sudden shift into military life halfway through, perhaps).

    Also, it's the most repetitive fix-em-up I've ever read.
