Campbell's style lends itself well to the quiet, intimate nature of the plot, and makes for a few uniquely skincrawling moments. The story is interesting in an investigative horror sense. I actually want to retry The Grin of the Dark. The Darkest Part of the Woods struck me as very boring, with Campbell's style making it an exponentially more tedious and frustrating experience. I merely started two novels, and although I made an honest effort to power through them, I just couldn't do it. I read two of his novels and didn't really enjoy either, but still, the reputation remains It was my first exposure to him and imo a great, quick way to see if you find his style appealing or offputting. Plotwise it is essentially an approachable little Cthulhu mythos story, and despite being one of his early stories, Campbell's unique writing style makes it a much richer reading experience than it might otherwise have been. u/Mescusey, I recommend starting with the short story "Cold Print".
