![]() It was too long and I don't like Lovecraft's stuff enough to read Alan Moore get verbose with his version of it. It fucks him up and he wakes up when Mina shakes him out of his stupor in a drug den at the beginning of this volume. If I'm not mistaken, it's about Quartermain doing a drug that opens his mind to impossible things, such as Lovecraftian elder gods. ![]() I ended up trying for almost 2 weeks to read it and finally ended up skimming and then reading the last page. I wanted to be done and move on, and I couldn't because I was afraid this thing was going to somehow be important to the next volume. The short prose story at the end was a real annoyance, though. And they are all being recruited (mostly) against their will to work for the British government as (basically) an anti-terrorist unit that protects Brittain against large threats. You have a bunch of reimagined literary characters who are all (mostly) the worst version of themselves that Moore could imagine. ![]() Was it just morbid fascination as to what these awful characters would do next or was it because the plot was actually great? I don't know if it was good, but it held my interest. ![]()
