Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger. I just got done reading a little local ghost book (Missouri Ghosts, 2nd Edition) since it is October. Next will be the last volume of The Civil War: A Narrative by Shelby Foote.

I'd never read Lovecraft so I decided to pick this up as a good spooky read for the Halloween season. This one is probably the most disappointing book I'm reading now.[/quote]

Yup. Infamously unimpressive writer, gets used as an example of what not to do in style guides all the time. What he had was an impressive imagination, not so much an impressive pen.
