A review by thebookishmel
The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft

3.0

Maybe it was because I listened to it instead of reading it, but I just didn’t love this book. The writing style was just a narrator talking with maybe 2 monologues throughout the entire book, and the “accents” were terrible.

The idea of “horror” didn’t really strike me until the last 20 minutes or so. And even then, it was very Edgar Allan Poe like with the tapping on the door at the darkest part of night.

The ending was fairly good, gave a little twist that could definitely be predicted but nonetheless was built up really well. Just a meh book.
