You should absolutely read the Great God Pan if you're a fan of cosmic horror. It's excellent, and I was just thinking of re-reading it.

Here's a link to a few online copies of it: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/389

I agree, I have 3 stories left myself. I feel kinda bad recommending half a book though, and I don't remember the stories' names off the top of my head

I honestly cant believe he changed the entire tone and theme of the book half way through.

The mundane second half is meant to make the first half more horrifying by contrast.

This was a frustratingly ineffective strategy if true.

It doesn't really make sense but I don't remember from the introduction, maybe it was written over the course of a long period of time and his perspective on what he was working on changed? Or maybe he wanted to have this contrast
