A review by charleswritenow
Neonomicon by Alan Moore
2.0
The writing was pretty much on the wall early on, but I was still shocked by how f*cked up it ended up being. I went into this entirely blind. Grabbed it off a shelf at one of the libraries here. I have enjoyed what bits of Alan Moore's work I've come across and expected something provocative but... not quite this.
What is most frustrating is that there's an interesting story to tell here. The lens through which it is told is f*cking disgusting, unfortunately. Moore writes some compelling stuff. Burrows draws up some incredible art. But, I think I'd be better off having not encountered that third chapter.
