I'm not a huge Lovecraft fan, but I love Johnson's quick and wonderful short stories. This is beautiful, though I would have gotten more from it if I liked Lovecraft.
I really enjoyed this novella. It is in dialogue with a short story by Lovecraft, which I have not read, but you don’t need to read that to enjoy this. And fortunately for me, this is fantasy, not horror. It is set in a portal world clearly conceived as the stuff of nightmares, with monsters, shifti...
Gorgeous and deeply thoughtful, and highly recommended.
Another great novella from Tor.com. Brilliant
