Re: Lovecraft’s Scariest Story

Rick: You KNOW how reluctant I am to disagree with you about anything at

all, but I must take exception to your statement that THE SHADOW OUT OF

INNSMOUTH is H.P. Lovecraft’s scariest story. It is certainly scary–all

that “chittering”!–but not half as scary as THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE.
