I sense that we are heading down into a long, slow, but powerful maelstrom very gradually, at this point, but with increasing velocity.

I have slowed down dramatically on reading this. Not that I'm in a big hurry.

Going fishing on Saturday and trying to decide if it's a good idea to take this book with me on the boat . . .

Moby Dick makes an offscreen cameo and eats someone. I had forgotten about that. Nomnomnom.

One wonders if Lovecraft didn't lift the trope of the evil Asian sailor directly from Ahab's "Tigers".

Now I want to write the stories of Timor Tom, New Zealand Jack, Morquan, King of Japan, and Don Miguel. Hmm . . .

Not convinced that this is the OG of Cosmic Horror? Go read that passage at the end of chapter 42: "The Whiteness of the Whale". One of the best passages of Cosmic Horror I've ever read, full stop. My review of the second reading might just be a quote of that passage. Awe-full in the extreme. If you don't have an existential crisis while reading it, you're not paying attention.
