I only read about a third of the book, but Lovecraft's stories all seem to be pretty samey. Knowledge brings fear, progress is bad, indescribable horror, protagonist goes mad or manages to escape before they learn the terrible truth that drove someone else mad. Also, all the stories have this weird quality where they seem like they should be set about 100 years earlier than they are. It seems anachronistic when a car or a telephone appears even though it actually isn't.
