One where the journalistic style mostly works, though the sudden intrusion of "we" in the middle of a third person section threw me out of the story for a moment. When it later goes to first person, it's at a section change, so that was less jarring.
Enjoyable overall. Loads of detail on Lovecraft's version of the mysterious and horrible history of the world. The unviewable deity vaguely reminds me of Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, and I can't help but wonder if it was part of their inspiration. Their effect is a lot tamer, though.
Mysterious mummy from mystical mountain makes monstrous museum mischief.

3.5 estrellitas, actually.
No recuerdo haber entendido mucho la primera vez que lo leí, a los 12 años, no más, pero en definitiva recuerdo lo mucho que me perturbó el concepto del título, "más allá de los eones". Ahora, no tan grande pero seis años después, y ya con más callo leyendo los mitos, y ya más acostumbrada (y ya sin sorprenderme) del estilo de Lovecraft, pues qué decir, me ha gustao y no me quito la sensación de incomodidad después de leer el final que más que obvio, es inevitable en un relato de este señor.

The museum setting is not that interesting, but the horror is good in this one. Narration is pleasant, there is professionally built suspense with nice bits of character development. The finale deftly ends the whole morbid story.

While I liked it ok, it really didn't get good till the third act.
