It’s all build-up. And it’s not his best build-up.
Very wordy, with some good descriptions that H.P. seems to pull from nowhere with ease.
But…it’s all build-up.
A relative waste of time compared to some of his best work. ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’ may pull its description of forms tumbling upward toward reality from here, or may not. In either case, it’s better to watch/hear Linda Styles read it to you from Sutter Cane’s new book than listen to it here.
Perhaps a necessary short story to introduce the IQ and the Cthulhu mythos properly, but otherwise it’s fairly safe to skip it.
