Finished reading Alan Moore's Neonomicon.
Didn't love it, but Moore engaged with some interesting things.
Also, funny song lyrics:
> …your eldritch bitch, I wanna be your white ape, want you to fuh-fuh-fuck me 'til I change my shape…
> You're like a drug I can't resist, a string high, dancing to the house in the mist…
> I want my thing on your doorstep, my haunter in your dark, I'm getting squamous just thinking how you walk…
And it's pretty meta:
> I want to talk to that girl who jumped me, Randolph Carter. Gordon, there's something weird about this. It's…. see, it's almost like some bit literary in-joke…
Uh-huh.
