Oh.. só leva 2 estrelas porque tem 4 histórias que eu realmente gostei, porque o livro em si, como um todo, é muiiiiiiiiito chato. Realmente não gosto do estilo, me parece mal escrito, grosseiro e muitas vezes sem propósito algum. As que gostei: - Pela Passagem de Uma Grande Dor - Pera, Uva ou Maçã - O Dia em que Júpiter Encontrou Saturno - Aqueles Dois

I know, I know . . . the diction is unnecessarily latinate and the prose is frequently overwrought, piling up the adjectives like "shambling" and "eldritch" to the point where certain passages are laugh-out-loud funny. And yet . . . Lovecraft has fashioned from the New World's New England a land so very old, a world in touch with realities so alien, that Christianity--albeit peripherally present--is completely irrelevant, and mere sanity--the best one can reasonably hope for--depends upon a few ancient formulae and extraordinary personal luck. The precisely imagined landscape convinces the reader, even though the prose often fails. Lovecraft makes us believe in his world, and his world is genuinely terrifying.

Loved the book. Written well easy reading and Great Story! Makes you think What would I do in this situation and praying I never have to face this.
