The Unnameable

I've never read anything of HP Lovecraft prior to this, and this wasn't bad. The ending was sort of overly cheesy and he seems to be very fond of certain adjectives (gibbering for example) but on the whole it was pretty good, I can see in parts of his writing how he influenced Stephen King, who I'm a huge fan of. The idea of the unnameable is an net resting one, mainly because (to my knowledge) Lovecraft was the first writer to popularize the idea.
