Too little time; sleeping when I should be reading and reading when I should sleep. Mostly English language SF/F, but I occasionally read other fare.

What it means when I rate something: ★★★★★ - This moved me in a way that changed my life. ★★★★☆ - I loved it. ★★★☆☆ - It was OK ★★☆☆☆ - Meh, it was entertaining at least ★☆☆☆☆ - Complete trash (if I dislike something, but it is well written I'd rather not give it any rating. The single star is reserved for the real trash).

Note: I have heaps of books imported from another database where the rating used was 1-6 (dice), so some books are rated higher than I would normally. I'll be adjusting stuff as I work my way thru the list of books (once I have fixed the 300 or so books that didn't import automatically :P)

reviewed H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth by Zack Davisson

Gou Tanabe, Zack Davisson: H.P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth (Paperback, Dark Horse Manga) 5 stars

Another brilliant adaptation from Tanabe

5 stars

As always, these adaptations by Tanabe Gō are a delight. In my minds eye I had a fairly fixed image of both Innsmouth and it's inhabitants, but this is now completely supplanted by Tanabe's vision.

My only complain about this Dark Horse edition is that it is too small to bring full justice to Tanabe's art.
