En general buenas historias, algunas sí me dieron miedo otras se me hicieron pesadas, pero fue un buen inicio para mí con este autor.
Tardé mucho en acabar el libro porque esta edición tiene las letras (almenos para mí) súper chiquitas y me cansaba rápido de leer.

Rating
I’m giving The Cats of Ulthar 4/5 stars.
Genre
The Cats of Ulthar is a horror / fantasy short story by the pen of H. P. Lovecraft. This is also classed as a classic.
About the Book
The book is about how you can’t kill cats in a place called Ulthar. I’m assuming murdering of cats goes on.
Why did I choose this book to read?
I loved the cover of this book, and I saw it was a short story so I decided to hop in and read it whilst I had some spare time on my hands.
Pricing
£0.49 on the Kindle Store. I read an electronic text of it online.
What did I think of it?
I thought this was quite a good little short story. It was well paced and the ending was really well done. I didn’t think it would end quite like it did, a little dark and gory, but it was really well written. I heavily enjoyed this one.
Did I have any qualms with it?
No qualms came to mind when I was writing this review at all.
Would I recommend it and who to?
I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to get into H. P. Lovecraft, or anyone that likes a dark little short story.
Overall opinion
I thought this was well done. It didn’t completely blow me away, but luckily, I wasn’t expecting that to happen. It was a neat little short story, it didn’t scream at me and I probably won’t read it again, but it was well written, and well deserved to become a classic, in my opinion.

I have to be honest; the bulk of the Lovecraft works I've read that do not in some way involve some cosmic horror, leave a lot of be desired. Often too short to be impactful, and I think the rising standards of what is great, particularly in fantasy, mean that a lot of these works do not age so well when looked at through a modern lens. Regardless, this story is fine. I guess.

I liked this short story a lot. This story made me laugh because my wife is terrified of cats and the whole time I read it I was thinking of her.
