I'd agree with this.

But, this is 4chan. We see the same 100 reaction photos every hour, like a hellish rolodex for the bored who aren't clever enough to conjure earnest responses.

So, don't hold out for it.

he's right. Don't fool yourself into thinking Lovecraft was a good writer by any standard. But he came up with cool ideas and monsters, creatures and worlds.
And Mountains of Madness really was incredibly weak even by his standards.

It's set up. You ever read Lovecraft before?

If you want something shorter to get into him, read Polis, but you either gotta be some special kinda fucked up in the head to identify with it or understand Lovecraft's time period/background to understand his thoughts.

please explain how this is any manner of improvement over your original.

Honestly, I'm impressed at your natural inability to suppress the conveyance of information through simple imagery.
