Status Updates From Território Lovecraft

Hippolyta is given a parting gift.

Well, this story sure is more immersively moody than the previous chapters. Sure, the story is more exposition than cosmic/horror danger, but it’s a nicely written story that explores the cosmos & would make a great CGI set with Lucius cinematography. Anyway, we have a bit of rivalry between the two shady white families now. Hipolyta’s story rating: 7/10

Hippolyta’s trip to the observatory takes an otherworldly turn.

Well, I’m halfway through the book, which means I will keep my synopsis to a minimum. Anyway, this is a very interesting chapter as, without spoiling anything big, has an intriguing set piece, while also taking a step towards cosmic fantasy. Which makes sense, considering the name shares the last name of one of the classic sci-fi writers.

Onto our next story “Hippolyta Disturbs the Universe”, about George’s wife, Hippolyta, as she goes on a trip to a mysterious observatory in Wisconsin, which I’m sure will be a normal journey, or is it?

I like that the book has time to do a backstory on Hippolyta, detailing her love of astronomy & her quest to look up into the stars. But, as it is connected to the name “Winthrop” something bad will happen

After a task given to them by Caleb Birthwright, George, Montrose, Atticus and the gang do a heist to get the “Book of Names” from the museum, but it isn’t easy as it looks.

Looks like we have a very interesting heist, played out with actual danger and some sweet Lovecraftian/horror vibes. Looks like these short stories are heating up and building to a startling climax. Abdul’s Book Rating: 8/10
