Review: I really enjoyed the in depth analysis of Lovecrafts Universe, the monster's and abominations, and the dimensions, spaces between and inside spaces. Although I really enjoyed the supernatural artefacts, and the travelling between interstellar spacetime, to spend time on another world or dimension beyond space time, whilst his crossover being resides on earth for all the time his human counterpart is in the body of an alien being studying the vast library of collected works from over the aeons, until the time comes to change back over arrives and the main character can't remember the last 7 years of his life, when he was travelling to the most remote places conceivable, and can now understand languages he had never before seen let alone be able to read. One of my most favourite tales is Through the Gates of Silver Key, it was as though Lovecraft was trying to break the shackles of our rudimentary beliefs, faiths and imaginations, and the twist at the end is absolutely unexpected, The Colour from Outer space is another favourite, so unique in its origins and conception, it just seemed so feasible that something like could have happened anytime over the last 4 billion years, and had a hand in creating the Colour spectrum we are familiar with, and still remains undetectable to our instruments of spectroscopy, brilliant read, and marvellous encyclopedia. Yet it does seem very sad and highly unfortunate that this iconic author died before his great world of horror sci-fi, and weird fiction was recognized to be vastly superior to any author of his day, trying to write in the same genre, ( perhaps decades ahead of its time), and he died in poverty, yet his legacy will live on just like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Lovecraft will still be seeked out and revered in 2 hundred years time.
