Okay. I have never read Lovecraft's Cthulhu. I want to but there are so many different editions I don't know which one is the best. This book is supposed to be referenced but I wouldn't know. There is one quote from the book:
I was a little bored with the book in the beginning because I couldn't figure out what was going on, but after awhile it clicked (somewhat) and it was great. The scene down in the basement, my favorite! I loved Black Tom himself!
Once again if again if anyone can give me some good rec's to the best Cthulhu book I would greatly appreciate it 😊 Oh, and put them under the comments because I have GR book recs disabled. I only see a book review from there if I'm going to read that particular book. Thanks.

Malone finally heard the last words Black Tom whispered down in the basement.
I'll take Cthulhu over you devils any day.

Thank you hon 💕😊 xx
Great Review Melissa! Wish I could help you with some good Cthulhu recs, but dont know any. 😕 XOXO 💜
Thank you sweet, Mary 💕😊😘 xoxo. I'm looking into getting a collection of his work now but I'm not sure just yet 😊
Great review, Melissa. Did you know this novella is based on one of the Lovecraft's lesser known stories "The horror at the red hook"?! It was one of the worst stories written by lovecraft because it had a racist tone and pure ranting. LaValle took that story and made it memorable!
Thanks hon 😊 No, I didn't know that! I need to read Lovecraft's work!
👍 Melissa. Not heard of LaValle before reading your review.I've read some of Lovecraft, but many moons ago, so cannot remember which ones 😢😢
It's okay 💕😊. Thank you for responding 😊
Great review, Melissa! I hope your next ones are much, much better! xo
