Formulaic as expected.
Some fun sci-fi elements, and weird creepy aspects. The headless bodies controlled (and eaten) by spider heads, the taxidermied dead in the city. Burroughs almost venturing into horror with this one. More fun than most of the previous books, and a slightly stronger female character.
