Neonomicon by Alan Moore and others, 176 pagesWith Halloween quickly approaching the display shelves thankfully change over to the strange and creepy books. This one caught my eye and it was interestingly described as Lovecraftian. Knowing that I was well braced for weird and strange. I wasn't however expecting so much adult material from such a shot graphic novel.
The plot is basically serial killers keep turning up that are killing their victims the same way. The only difference is in what trophy they keep. As the investigation continues it spirals down past weird and into what truly can only be described as Lovecraftian.
If you can make it past the weird language, the same that Cthulhu followers use in Lovecraft's books, and the graphic adult imagery this book is pretty good. It still has the cheesy horror story vibe to it but not enough to make me not want to continue reading.
