this book made me feel exceptionally dumb. it's fun, creepy stuff, and, as with everything alan moore, bursting with exciting ideas. reading about all the references etc. i didn't get has really impressed me. i think to get the most out of this story, though, you need to be obsessed with lovecraft. having only read a couple of his short stories/engaged with random mythos elements, i missed more than i got.
