alexxkayThe new issue of Alan Moore’s Providence is out. I have some mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I am disappointed that the dizzying intensity of existential terror reached at the end of the previous issue is retreated from.
On the other hand, Moore has taken the well-worn Lovecraftian trope of the Clueless Narrator and driven it to hitherto-undreamed-of heights (depths? lengths? marls?). It’s so overdone it’s funny – which becomes horrifying in a very unusual way.
