Molochs? Like the thing from Metropolis?!

Why is the creepiest thing about this when Renfield starts talking like a YouTube grifter?

I always forget and it’s always so funny to me that Jonathan gets sidelined almost immediately.

This Book (Complimentary): Instantly engaging! Sensual! Nightmarish!

Also This Book (Also Complimentary): “Boy, Nina’s not going to believe all this NUMMY food I’ve been having! She’s gonna SO appreciate me giving her all these recipes that way she can cook them all for me once I’m finished with my pale, weird, handle-bar mustached boss!”

This last story is a bit of a snooze. Especially playing encore to one genuinely good one and an outright masterpiece (I’ll let you all decide between them)

A Story of Days to Come: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (there is a very funny/petty dig at 1984 from Asimov in this collection’s introduction)

The Island of Dr. Moreau: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s amazing how many of these so far have started like “Okay, so this dummy gets on a boat, right?”

Cadia Stands.

It’s going to be impossible to pick a quote from this.

Very fascinating to discover how many of these first horror novels got published in the wake of massive worker’s actions and the goddamn French Revolution.

All 🎃, all the time now, mutants.

I wished I liked this as much as I wanted to.

Oh, that’s VERY clever (and something I should have clocked from the start, especially since it was specifically name checking HPL. I’m a Fake Non-Euclidean Gurl.)

This has got to be a foundational “That’s Me. I Bet You’re Wondering How I Got In This Situation…” text, right?

Still pretty *a-heh-HEMMM* chaaaaaarrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmminnngggg

Weird little guy! Weird little book!

This is really charming the bells out of me.

Through Volume II and into Volume III. Still blowing my mind apart that this was a trilogy.

Well this is a bit FREAKING LOVELY to start, huh?

Extremely funny that by chapter THREE Victor is already like, “so, yeah, I’m like scoring hella limbs from the charnel and slaughterhouses and everything is going GREAT…”

III: PAUL. (Boy The Scene™️ is so, so much worse here. I freaking love it.)
