it was ok

Joe Hill says this is a tribute to the works of H. P. Lovecraft and the films of John Carpenter. Neither of those guys do much for me, which might explain why this book didn't do much for me.

I was annoyed that math stuff was thrown around like it was important to the series but was really used for nothing but window dressing. Mentioning pi does not make this men vs. monsters tale deeper or more interesting.

Alexander Peterhans Heresy! But I agree on the math stuff, it could've led to some nice psychological horror, but was quickly forgotten about.

Maybe if Lovecraft had more math and fewer uptight young men fainting from the strain of fretting about the tentacles they glimpse out of the corner of their eyes I’d like him better.
;)


Alexander Peterhans I have non-euclidian geometry for you, but that's my final offer.
