H. P. Lovecraft

"The Shadow Over Innsmouth" is a short novel about a weird hybrid race of humans and creatures resembling a cross between a fish and a frog, which lives in the seaside village of Innsmouth.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth

My expectations and relative overexposure to the Cthulhu mythos may have soured this singularly underwhelming reading experience. "The Shadow over Innsmouth" was neither a compelling piece of horror nor a particularly well-crafted short story. What it is is an atmospheric, fertile expanse of decay and rot from which Lovecraftian lore can germinate and propagate itself into the unfathomable, twisted horrors we know today, with a generous heaping of xenophobia to boot.

The story describes of a strange hybrid race, half-human and half an unknown creature that resembles a cross between a fish and frog, that dwells in the seaside village of Innsmouth (formerly a large town, but lately fallen into disrepair). The townspeople worship Cthulhu and Dagon, a Philistine deity incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos.
