Herbert West Wiedererwecker (Arkham-Erzählungen 1)

The story's focus on mad science and ethics makes it feel unsettling and timeless. I wonder how Lovecraft’s own views influenced this portrayal.

The tension gradually escalates, but I’m curious if this slow burn was intentional to make the horror more impactful or if it affected the suspense.

The body horror elements are visceral and disturbing—did Lovecraft intend to evoke this level of discomfort, or was it a reflection of his fascination with the macabre?
