this is SO unsettling. i can also say with almost 100% certainty that the creators of Resident Evil 4 had to have taken inspiration from The Shadow Over Innsmouth while creating the concept of the village in that game.

it’s really interesting reading an adaptation of an HP Lovecraft story which was adapted by a person of color because, as we know, Lovecraft was deeply racist and xenophobic. it creates such an interesting contrast between the obviously bigoted origins of this story vs. the experience of the person adapting the work and changing its form.
