Ésta historia, narrada a modo de bitácora, nos relata hechos con muchas descripciones desde el suspenso y el terror como géneros predominantes. Las menciones a los países nórdicos, como Noruega, Groenlandia e Islandia nos invita a situarnos en esos gélidos paisajes para el hombre, como las frías aguas del Océano Atlántico Norte, y mencionando el antiguo nombre de Oslo (Christiania) y la posterior aparición del monstruo, detallada con mucha precisión dándonos una sensación de miedo al imaginarlo. ...more

It's good and left me craving for more. I was engrossed and I wanted to know more about the Cult of Cthulhu and the origin of Cthulhu himself.
