Mark's novel, "Dreams of the Dark" was a terrific read; I enjoyed it very much.

[McTrooper]

Great interview / look at the Leviathans storyline.

Coincidentally I had just finished reading through that storyline.

What did Jeb look like?
Even though I haven’t really read any books about Cthulhu I pictured something like it with dark colors and octopus like tentacles. 

The 80’s G.I. Joe cartoon episode “Skeletons in the Closet” featured a Cthulhu inspired
monster, so that might have helped me picture it. 
Hasbro’s YouTube page features the episode free if anyone is interested.
