"The Very Old Folk"
So another dream—story, but thankfully this was actually a story. Not the best — so mucj politics! — but interesting enough

"The Dream Quest to Unknown Kadath"
This is probably the longest of Lovecraft's fictions, and is more a short novel, than a short story. It follows Carter, a man we've met multiple times before, as he tries to reach a beautiful dream city.
It's well written, if a little repetative at times, and interesting, if a bit slow.
The main plot seems to be ''no place like home''

"Through the gates of the silver key"
I think I may have been too tired to understand this story today, but it was just plain weird. A lot of philosophy, and a little story and mystery

"Polaris"
Another one that was just weird. I think I see on what the story is based, but mostly it seemed random to me...

"What the moon brings"
Not sure if I was just too tired to understand this, or if it was actually as weird as I think. If so, another novella about madness, and maybe drugs

"The White Ship"
Sometimes Lovecraft really plays with metaphores and symbolism, and he really pulls it of. This is one of those novellas

"The Unnameble"
I honestly don't know what this story was about. There was a lot of backstory, and much back and forth, but that was that

"The Tree"
It is said that revenge is a dish best served cold. A rather fitting sentence to this story. Short and interesting as well

"The Transition of Juan Romero"
This is another of those annoying novellas in this collection. It has a lot of backstory and random stuff, then something leading to a climax, but the protagonist passes out or forgets what he sees, and then everything is almost back to normal, but nothing really happens.
I don't like these, 'cause they seem unfinished to me

"The Thing on the Doorstep"
This was an interesting one. Normally I can see where the story is going, but while a part of me suspected the twist here, I was actually surprised by it.
Interesting story as well.
