Most of the stories I write tend to draw on elements from the Lovecraftian Mythos, but occasionally I tackle a specific story and work solely within it. In my current project, I’ve re-worked Lovecraft’s well known The Nameless City and given it a contemporary feel. For my own amusement I ran both stories through several text analysis algorithms. I was somewhat surprised to find that Lovecraft’s original story was written at 8.5 grade level while my own story was at the 6.5 grade level.
I also generated a Word Cloud of the two stories. There are some amazing text visualization tools at https://voyant-tools.org which are worth exploring if you enjoy data visualization. In the meantime here is a comparison of the two stories.
