I bought a book of his stories, and so far he's pretty wordy. It's funny how large the words are back during the 20s and so on. The line, "incongruous in its diminutiveness" would be said as, "smaller than the rest" today. When I read Moby Dick I noticed something similar (again, about same time period).
And so, I read "the call of cthulhu" and found it sorta bland. The main reason for by musing the book, to be honest. Just started "shadows over innsmouth," and that's actually much better.
Anyone else read his insane stories? If so, which was your favorite?
