Lovecraft's own literary style, especially in his later years as he reached for vaster, revealing vistas, yet with a stronger, more robust treatment of the weird, cosmic, horrific, and just plain bleak that modern readers will find far more accessible than Lovecraft's own formal narrative language of the 1920's and '30s. And now that I see NO DOGS IN PHILLY is labeled as "Book 1", I am quite eager to see the follow ups (I was hoping it wasn't going to be left at the ending although I personally found it satisfactorily completing in a sardonic manner often found in dystopian media).Īndy Futuro has a command of description that does bring to mind H.P. In many ways, I felt transported into a CALL OF CTHULHU tabletop game campaign I had played a couple decades back - gritty cyberpunk dystopian grimness liberally interspersed with epic, cosmos reaching mystical implications.
