All I know about Lovecraft is from an ineffective tutorial a friend gave me on a tape-letter (problem was on my end) last year, though I learned that with my crappy concentration, the dense writing is something I'd better avoid to give my charley-horsed brain a break. Too bad-- it sounds very cool. All I really know is that there were those '70s paperback covers with faces with bricks over parts of them, or worms crawling out of the eyesockets and whatnot.
I don't know why I'm saying "whatnot" lately. Some of these things may just be to entertain me.
In any DS storyline I don't like so much, I'm frustrated yet relieved toward the end, when they start throwing kitchen sinks in. It livens things up, at least. Though, if they'd worked on making the concept stranger and creepier toward the end instead of throwing in Blair and conventionalizing the 'evil', I might feel better about Leviathans now. Where are those defiant (behind closed doors?), beleaguered, subversive DS writers making it good in spite of their overseer, when you need them? Off with paying jobs to feed their families, probably. Good for them.
