Since this was started on recommendation of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
featherynscale, I can safely say we were both disappointed: I didn't throw it across the room in the first 50 pages like she expected, but neither did I find it to have the impact I was expecting/hoping for from a novel of such cult status. So I began to wonder why I was unimpressed in either direction. I'm not really trying to start any fights (I think I've done enough of that for today), but this is as much musing out loud as it is the start of a discussion:
( What's in a (shaggy shoggoth) story? )
