    Quite possibly they’re just not your thing. Agree the writing is not the best but for me it’s the world building and abstract nature of his horror that draw me in which at the time he wrote them were unique and I’d argue continue to be unique as so many people draw from his stories as a source of influence.

      I wish his books came in an edition with the originals and lightly edited versions of the originals that don’t have the casual racism.
