Yeah I wasn’t very clear. I guess Herbert West is the uncommon name, esp without mentioning the Reanimator.
Herbert West: Reanimator is one of Lovecraft’s most famous tales. It’s a serial he wrote for a magazine in 1920-21, a horror/comedy, one of the first sci/fi zombie tales. The science part, you have to remember it was written 100 years ago. There’s been a few video adaptations, but really, the book is better because Lovecraft was a great writer.
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
'Til I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ha-ha-ha!
The first Lovecraft story I read was The Tomb. I was enthralled. Eventually I came across Herbert West. I’ve read most short works from two collections I bought.
Also Diaspora.
