The Case of Charles Dexter Ward: A Horror, Post-1930 Classic By H. P. Lovecraft! AAA+++

This is a masterful tale of horror. I find it very fitting that this was first published in Weird Tales magazine. The strength of Lovecraft’s writing lies in his refusal to provide every gruesome detail. The reader is only permitted a quick peek behind the curtain and is then left to fill in his own details. Warning: do not read late at night in an empty house.
