The Monstrous Dreams of Mr. Providence by Daria Schmitt
1.0
In the description of this book, there was no mention that this was mostly a fan-written prequel to an H.P. Lovecraft story. The book itself was short but then we account for the fact that about 10 pages were used to insert the actual Lovecraft story.
I personally was not a fan of the art style. Most of the art was in a black-and-white sketch style with vivid colours used for the creatures that only the caretaker could see. I didn't like how the humans in the story looked but the magical creatures were nice enough to look at. However, that didn't make up for the fact that I did not enjoy the story.
There was a lot going on with the characters but it gave me no enjoyment as I didn't actually know or care about the characters.
