Apparently Lovecraft didn't like New York. He lived there for a short period of time. In both of these tales Lovecraft depicts the repulsive face of the big apple, including the people (immigrants) he disliked. The two stories are ok, not great and I doubt I will remember them in the future. Hmm perhaps the detective, Malone, in the first story will stick for a bit .
So far I have read 1/3 of this mammoth of a book. Still to read his most reputable work. Looking forward.
