Page 150 (End): I think that the power of the eldritch beings is that you can not comprehend what they are or even look at their being. So when you describe it and have people survive, it takes the power away from them. Also ending the book with "zig zag zig" is intriguing.
Page 125: What happened to Tom when he went through the door? He apparently became powerful, but how? It is also interesting that not only is the story now from Malones perspective, but that he can see through a viel of magic that others can not.
100 pages: Malone in is much more likable and relatable here than Malone from Horror at Redhook, there is a certain aspect of open mindness that he exudes. An aspect of sensitivity to the unknown appears here in both Malone and Suydam, that also is in the previous stories we read
75 pages: So angry at Detective Howard. Literally emptied his revolver at a man with a guitar, even if he thought it was a rifle and accidentally shot back, that alone is insane, then he reloaded and emptied again! And the way he easily relays this info to Tommy is equally scary.
50 pages: It is interesting to me that there is some sort of standard understanding that the arcane exists as a truth in this world, yet Tommy is surprised what Robert Suydam showed him. This story also seems to have direct ties to the Horror at Red Hook by H.P Lovecraft.
After the first 25 pages I am curious about the mysterious "Supreme Alphabet" presented in the yellow book titled "Zig Zag Zig", and how it and Tommy Tester are connected to "The Victoria Society". Tester is an intriguing name choice as well for a "hustler of the arcane".
