In this story, we find the first mentions (to my knowledge) of nightmarish cyclopean corpse-cities, resurfacing like non-Euclidean mammoth monoliths from the unfathomable depths of time; the invention of strange and evil tongues (the repeated sentence: " Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.”); the description of horrific squid-like entities; the mention of the mysterious Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred.

Rev. Hamilton’s discussions of Paul’s attitude toward women might leave the reader with a false impression. Rev. Hamilton’s apologetic explanation was that present day people are judging Paul by 21st century standards. In fact, Paul was very positive toward women, especially by 1st century standards. There are numerous incidents in Paul’s actual writings (the Pauline Corpus) of Paul using women in his ministry. According to most scholars, the statement, “… women should be silent in the churches” (from 1 Corinthians 14: 34), does not fit the flow of the text and was likely added by a scribe who thought Paul was too positive about women. Moreover, phrases such as, “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent” (1 Timothy 2: 12) are from the pastoral epistles (I & II Timothy, Titus) which are outside the Pauline Corpus – Paul did not write either of them. In fact, at several points, Rev. Hamilton makes statements such as, “Paul describes in Colossians” when, in fact, very few scholars feel that Paul wrote Colossians. create.

The reader, who experiences vicariously the immediacy of the sailor's quest, is disoriented when he realizes that the narrative has now come full circle, and that the full horror of Cthulhu which Johansen witnesses happened on the very same night that sculptor Wilcox was dreaming his dreams. However, though the narrative has come full circle, the reader remains disoriented, scattered like great Cthulhu upon the waves. the Rhode Island School of Design and living alone at the Fleur-de-Lys Building near that institution. It's the most entertaining, laugh-out-loud read among Beth O'Leary's works, with fewer dramatic and angsty moments.

Although this wasn't the best story from HP Lovecraft, it is perhaps the most important being the starting point for the Cthulu mythos (correct me if I'm wrong there). It really sets the tone for his work, being very bleak and introducing a race of great beings that are beyond the understanding of the human race. Our protagonist is Nessa, and Nessa is different. Crippled at a young age by polio, her chances of outrunning the Sidhe in a day-long race are – to say the least – remote. O’Guilin observes this neatly:

I think it's a well-known short story that has spawned countless far better stories. Which is something I'm finding to be true across the board when it comes to classics. A vast amount of the source material for famous characters is utter shit, at least plotwise. The core ideas are different and interesting, so over the years, you have other authors take those ideas and run with them into some very cool territory. Eventually, those characters become completely iconic, and then some ignorant peasant like myself grows a wild hair and decides to read the original stuff.

Hidden away, buried, in a dark underground city deep under the ocean, Cthulhu is older than the sun and the stars. Like nothing that has ever walked the earth, he is part man, part dragon and part octopus; he is a being of unimaginable cosmic proportions: beholding his form is enough to drive the sanest man into the lowest pits of hysteria and despair. Although he is near impossible to find, even for the most devout and deranged of his followers, he has the power to find you: he has the power to invade your dreams and unhinge your thoughts forevermore. You must learn to abide in My presence without becoming self-conscious and self-absorbed. This causes you to turn from the truth that is in Me and turn to the deception that is in your fallen nature."
