What a bizarre little thing this was. Graphic novel over reading Lovecraft any day though. Enjoyed the manga style reading, although v challenging for me at first.
Good fit for folks who enjoy GNs, horror, cosmic/edlritch horror, body horror, atmospheric horror, etc. and other Lovecraftian themes but who don’t want to read Lovecraft himself.
I was disturbed by a reference early on to swaztikas used by “the deep ones” and comparison to Nazis rather than Sanskrit or something less offensive, but it is Lovecraft after all.
