This is a very weird book. Highly conceptual (it's literally presented as a catalogue of a fictional occult book sale) and very Loveraftian, it is equally funny at times with so many little nods and references from various aspects of the Lythos and weird fiction in general that it probably needs a closer reading to fully appreciate everything going on here. Clearly a labor of love by all involved, this is just such a small niche thing that I'm glad I read and owned it, but can't think of many people who would really get into it, either.
