Andrewcharles420's Reviews > The Horror On The Beach

While this doesn't measure up to H. P. Lovecraft's work overall, it does have Cthuluan moments of suspense and otherworldly tension. It does lack the mystery--things are described too clearly and explained too well to match Lovecraft. Also, I don't know what it was exactly, the tone or the pacing, or the names or actions of the characters, but this story just screamed 'written in the 80's' to me (even though it predates them by a couple years). Enjoyable if you're a fan, but I wouldn't recommend going out of one's way to read it.
