What is the author's style in Dagon and Other Macabre Tales by H. P. Lovecraft?

The Point of View of all of these stories is told either in the first-person or in the third person objective. The majority of the tales are told in the first person and this seems to be one of Lovecraft's favorite literary techniques. Reliable narrators, however, tell many of the quasi-historical or dream tales, in the third person.

Lovecraft is famous; some might say infamous, for his strange language. His language also contributes to his concerns and his approach to horror. For him, horror is the result of dark, metaphysical processes and inherent tendencies in the hearts of men, not merely the threat of violence. Horror is the result of learning too much about serious things.
