These old sci-fi/horror stories are fun. They are filled with Victorian era supposition (or post-Victorian in this case) in which scientific explanation is given for the supernatural. These stories come out of a time when science started to be able to explain things like time and space and so credence was given to some historical superstitions. My favorite such example was: "Elwood agreed that Gilman had good scientific grounds for thinking she might have stumbled on strange and significant

Not my favorite Lovecraft story, it took a while to 'get going' and I lost concentration a few times because of this. However, Lovecraft revels in the reveal-after-the-fact in his stories, and this one has a few of those in the finale. There were a number of images and events in this story that have been used in modern horror, one of which I was pleasantly surprised to find was leaving flour spread on the floor to see if any footprints appeared overnight. Narrated beautifully by Ian Gordon on

Much less keep living there?!Anyway, he started to have dreams about geometry,

We had to read this for class, along with At The Mountains of Madness (also by Lovecraft), and I have to say that I enjoyed this one much more than ATMM.

Yeah, it's Lovecraft, so it's got the usual overwrought, portentous language, and lengthy, wordy descriptions involving impossible angles, unreal violet light, and inexplicable events. Because this book is about dreams encroaching into the real world, the excess works for me. A lot of Lovecraft's mythos is showcased in this story, and I do love Nyarlathotep, so flawed as it is, I enjoyed this one.

"The Dreams in the Witch House" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, written in February 1932 and first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales. Well it certainly was that, a weird tale that is. Also, I am absolutely sure that none of this could ever have happened to me, even if there wasn't an old woman's ghost and a white, hairy, sharp-toothed thing called by the townspeople Brown Jenkin running around the house. It is rather surprising I ever got through the first few paragraphs,
