Tobin was destined for horror. This became obvious when, in the span of two weeks, he built a working model of a guillotine out of popsicle sticks and a razor blade — which his Grade Five teacher didn't seem to appreciate as much as he did — and he also learned to tie a noose and proudly hung one from their apartment balcony — which his mother and the superintendent didn't seem to appreciate as much as he did.

Eventually, he learned to focus the horror into stories. His friends and neighbours likely appreciated the lesser PDH (Public Displays of Horror).

Besides writing ugly stories about bad people doing horrible things, Tobin also

This started out so good. SO good. The art, while not my favourite style, fit the tone and actually had some breathtaking panels...especially when it came to the creature itself.

I have no idea how to rate this book. Literally no idea.

S.T. Joshi is a leading expert on all things Lovecraft. That's very obvious, and rather impressive.

However, while he provides, in this first volume, an almost day-to-day accounting of Lovecraft'

And then there's the wrap-up of both stories started in the previous issue.

Once again, the stories tend to hold few surprises. Both bring the expected action and big climax, the Moench's, while perhaps the sillier of the two, still lands a bit better

“She would never understand how these creatures could find any sort of solace or contentment with the meaningless existence they had been shackled to.”
Tobin Elliott, Blood Pact: The Fourth Book of the Aphotic

“If something burns your soul with purpose and desire, it’s your duty to be reduced to ashes by it. Any other form of existence will be yet another dull book in the library of life.”
Charles Bukowski

“Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I could be wrong.”
Terry Pratchett

“If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.”
Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
