"Lost Paradise" is the only story I've actively not liked so far.

Getting a strong sense of Moore's style. "Dust of Gods" is the only one that's made the Indiana Jones comparison make sense.

C.L. Moore is who Lovecraft aspires to be.
Shambleau made a huge impact when I first read it, over 5 years ago, although it was less intense on this 4th-ish read.
Very interesting to see the similarities to Black Thirst. Smith and I both went on such an emotional journey regarding Vaudir.
It does Northwest a disservice to compare him to Han Solo, but he is THE space cowboy. More like Mal from Firefly, I'd say.
