Review: From Beyond by Howard Phillips Lovecraft

I continue reading the stories of Howard P. Lovecraft. 

Howard P. Lovecraft, this time, it's the turn of "From Beyond." 

About the story: 

From Beyond touches on a subject that surely all of us at some point in our lives have wondered about, the classic and typical question... Are we alone in the universe? What if we are not, and moreover, if those "things" surround us and we cannot perceive them? 

Crawford Tillinghast (dedicated to science and philosophy) wondered, and not only that, but against the advice of his friend, he set out to create a machine that would sharpen his senses, senses that man in general does not have developed... 

"What do we know about the world around us? Our means of perception are hopelessly inefficient, and our knowledge of our surroundings is negligible. We perceive things according to the capacity of our organs, and cannot form a comprehensive concept of their character. With five feeble senses we pretend to embrace the complex and infinite cosmos..." 

His friend refuses such an idea, causing Tillinghast to throw him out of his house, but ten weeks later, a letter arrives telling him that he must return. 

Upon doing so he sees that Tillinghast is emaciated, skinny and very strange. 

"Once Tillinghast had suffered alone and homesick, failure; yet at that moment I understood with a deep awe that he had achieved success." 

What the poor fellow sees at that moment (in my opinion) only Lovecraft can describe. 

In a short story, I have to say that it is not the best I read by Lovecraft but it is in a middle point (don't get me wrong, I like it, but I have been fascinated with another story by this author and I can't omit the comparison with this one).
