review 1: Neil Gaiman's macabre tribute to one of the greatest ever to have endorsed the genre, H.P. Lovecraft.More importantly, this one talks about 'Carcosa' and 'The King in Yellow', thus reminding me of TRUE DETECTIVE. That 4th star is for that!P.s.: A wonderful surprise awaits at the end, where Gaiman talks about the special yet little-known camaraderie between Lovecraft and Wodehouse, and his ecstasy for being in possession of their only collaborative work together.
review 2: I won't give this a star rating because I'll admit I was a little lost. I've never read Lovecraft yet (though I've read works by others inspired by him), but I will most definitely one of these days when I find a nice hardback of his collected works. So, I mean, I have a vague idea of what it ... morewas about, but due to my ignorance on the subject, I wasn't in on the joke. I'll have to come back and read it again after I've read some Lovecraft and learned more about the whole Cthulu thing. Interesting though, and it spurs me on to read the real thing. :) less
