5/10/2023 0 Comments Lost souls brite![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I bought The Sandman: Volume 1 by Neil Gaiman even though I wasn’t that into comics at the time because I couldn’t escape mentions of the book and had to know what it was all about. Need I say more? Fair warning, I’m suspect that this one, like Exquisite Corpse, is a disturbing piece of work. I did read the summary for Lost Souls and I can’t believe I hadn’t heard more about it. I borrowed my Brite copy from the same friend who loaned me The Story of O. ![]() Brite was Exquisite Corpse, but I’m leaving it up to people who are more well read on his work. This fictional character has escaped The Call of Cthulhu to become an icon, which is truly terrifying because I hear he’s not the forgiving sort and I don’t know what he’d think of all that merch. There was a time when one couldn’t escape cute, stuffed Cthulhus propped on black shelves and nestled among pillows on velvet-lined beds. The goth’s love of Cthulhu is strong and unusually plush. If goth culture had a mascot or a patron saint for protection against high school, Cthulhu wouldn’t encounter much adversity in claiming the title, and not just because of the primal dread. ![]()
