Okay, I finally got around to reading one of the stories written by H. P. Lovecraft, and I have to say that it was a good read. By which I mean it was one of the most terrifying things I have ever read! Part way through I felt my heart-rate increasing, like it was trying to beat it's way out of my chest. During the read, I just thought that it was a rather disturbing tale, but afterwords, the first thought that came unbidden into my head was that it genuinely scared me.
