A story about cosmic horror, forbidden knowledge, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of ancient, powerful entities as lovecraft writes one of his best works with his customary themes. The story delves into the idea that some truths are better left undiscovered, as they can drive individuals to madness. Hope yall enjoy this, I love horror lit myself.
Oh I’d love to check out your favorites, what’s the best of herbert west
Herbert West: Reanimator is one of Lovecraft’s most famous tales. It’s a serial he wrote for a magazine in 1920-21, a horror/comedy, one of the first sci/fi zombie tales. The science part, you have to remember it was written 100 years ago. There’s been a few video adaptations, but really, the book is better because Lovecraft was a great writer.
