(This review is for Seanan McGuire and Jennifer Brozek's "Home and Hope Both Sound a Little Bit Like 'Hunger.'")
So. This was different. I think I must need to read Lovecraft, but I seem to be encountering a lot of things that are apparently inspired by his work that are just leaving me confused and a little uneasy.
It was a little difficult to deal with the constant mention of *SPOILER* the killing of the pet cat. I'm never thrilled with animal deaths in stories and find them generally unnecessary.
I'm not familiar with Jennifer Brozek, so this story may be more her style, but otherwise, it seems to very much be trying to be something else. And it tries a little too hard, in my opinion.
