luana420's review against another edition
4.0
Lovecraft collaborating with a... a WOMAN??? Yes, tons of direct speech in this one; almost as if one of the authors thought individual humans were worth being heard.
TWO female characters??? WITH AGENCY??? This is diluted Lovecraft get out of here... even the classic racism is (somewhat) dialed down.
The twist ending is great, and Bishop actually manages to build a very, very suspenseful scene of the main settler lady trying to live through a night where the serpent god Yig has chosen to unleash his wrath on her cabin.

Another successful entry in Lovecraft’s works. The book lost me at the middle of the story, but the beginning + ending are quite good. The damnable creature and believable characters make for great suspense.
