A review by mattycakesbooks
Neonomicon by Alan Moore

3.0

Not too bad... not what I expect from Moore, but it definitely did some cool stuff with the Lovecraft universe. There IS a pretty strong undercurrent of repressed sexual tension in Lovecraft's books, and the man IS obsessed with genealogy and things like "tainted blood," so this is the natural extension of that, but it's pretty sexually graphic, and as such, is pretty shocking. I loved the artists depiction of the Deep One, but in short, I wanted to see more from it. I was hoping for a bit more Cthulhu, or maybe some Elder Things or a Shoggoth. But oh well, he may do more with it in the future.
