Tommy deals with too much shit already to have to put up with eldritch entities, wrong place and time for Malone, no eyes sounds better than no eyelids + eyes.
  7.5/10.

Highlights: The effects of eldritch power on a real world.

Recommended for: Lovecraft Country fans, people who can stomach bodily horror, people who have a problem with Lovecraft’s cat’s name.
