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.
