The Dreams in the Witch House (Fantasy and Horror Classics) | H. P. Lovecraft
4 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
This early work by H. P. Lovecraft was originally published in 1933. Born in 1890 in Rhode Island, USA, Lovecraft began writing at a very young age, quickly developing a deep and abiding interest in science. In 1913, Lovecraft joined the UAPA (United Amateur Press Association) but it was four years later, in 1917, that he began to focus on fiction, producing such well-known early stories as 'Dagon' and 'A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson'. However, it was during the last decade of his life that Lovecraft produced his most notable works, such as 'the Dunwich Horror' and 'The Call of Cthulhu' which subsequently earned him his place as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

The Dreams in the Witch House: And Other Weird Stories | H. P. Lovecraft

Pickpick

The Dreams in the Witch House is probably my favorite short story from Lovecraft. Very easy to read, imaginative and the way they shift between reality and dreams is very well written.

We discussed it in depth on our podcast: https://bit.ly/3Kqf45z

The Dreams in the Witch House: And Other Weird Stories | H. P. Lovecraft
post image

I went a bit mad at Quicksilver Records! But, I've been looking for those Mott the Hoople albums for ages, as well as the Reed/Cale "Songs for Drella", a Warhol tribute that I foolishly didn't get on release, and a Brubeck. The others are all wild cards, which I hope I'll like! The book connection is through late '60s psychedelic rockers, H.P. Lovecraft and their "best of" album, Dreams in the Witch House.
Bottom left is the shop-window sign ?

vivastory That's a fantastic shop sign 😂 I had never heard of Lovecraft the band! I'm reminded of last week when I finished Tutuola's book last week & I was looking up info and I found that there was a Byrne/Eno album named after it. I rolled my eyes when I saw in an interview that they admitted that they hadn't even bothered to read the book. 2y
Bookwomble @vivastory Having been in the shop while the proprietor gets his ear bent, I understand the need for the sign! I'd heard the Eno/Byrne album first, which interested me in the book. I had the same eyeroll when I saw they'd not read Tutuola 🙄😄 I like the album, but it's not (and obviously wasn't intended to be) a soundtrack to the story. 2y
Bookwomble @vivastory I'd heard of the Lovecraft band, but have never heard their music. It'll be interesting to listen to, and hopefully enjoy🤞🏻 2y

Mehso-so

This tale has some excellent elements, but I think it is weakened by the long, overly-detailed descriptions HPL sometimes includes. Usually these relate to describing alien physiology or strange geometry. I like those elements in general, but not when they detract from the plot and become boring. Speaking of the plot, it was interesting and quite good as a horror read. The ending was the best part descriptively, if unsurprising.
