The End of Most H.P. Lovecraft Tales?

Sunday, December 27, 2009

A cynical and Cutethulhuvian look at the formulaic end of most Lovecraft stories:



Actually, to be fair, much great weird fiction relies upon this type of subtlety, forcing the reader to allow the horrors a stage in his own mind. There's nothing like one's private dreamscape to conjure a unique and personal monster with every reading of the words. Lovecraft is just notable for explicitly stressing that the unspeakable demons of his fiction are, in fact, unspeakable demons.
