Honesty’s Reviews > SCP Foundation Artbook: Red Journal > Status Update

Somehow, I had managed to avoid any SCPs tied to Alagadda, as it seemed to be one of the more convoluted and derivative parts of the fandom. I was not wrong about it being derivative. It is clearly inspired by The King in Yellow, with Alagadda strongly resembling Carcossa, and it even mentions a madness-inducing play. It was still original enough to be entertaining, and is what I would classify as good fanfiction.

Reading this hardcover edition while listening to Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse is the perfect way to enjoy SCP! SCP-939 is still one of the creepiest, in my opinion, and is even creepier with a dark ambient soundtrack.

While I’ve read most of the SCP entries in this series before on the Wikidot, there are still several which I have yet to get to. SCP-166 was heartbreaking!
