I just de-boxed The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft. I've not read it. The cover says "...[he] wrote only one full-length novel. This is it."
Was this one you waded through?
When I was ten or twelve I read his short story "The Colour Out of Space". This was back when I could immerse myself so thoroughly into what I was reading, it was as if I were there and taking part of what transpired. I had nightmares for two or three days afterward. Later, (much later) I tried some of his Cthulhu mythos but just couldn't get into them.
Quote:... Moby Dick ...
Although I never made it far into Ishmael and Captain Ahab's adventure, I did read a short story or two by Melville a few years ago. Thus ended my own forray into this particular 'classic' author's works.
How did you fare?
