although i do enjoy his work .. i do find that lovecraft does one incredibly annoying thing - a lot ..
he will describe a creature as a thing of 'undescribable horror !!'
something that is so horrible to behold that it renders the viewer mad and uncomprehensible (in otherwords - too far gone to describe what he saw)
i can understand how he's attempting to build terror but after the second time it started to seem like a cop out - as if the octopus/whatever just didnt sound scary enough -and he knew it - so better just describe the terror of the person who saw it VS the thing itself..
