Alan Moore Neonomicon Hardcover
Alan Moore Neonomicon Hardcover | Alan Moore
3 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
The path to Providence begins here! Collecting THE COURTYARD and NEONOMICON, the epic tome has all of the stories that lead into PROVIDENCE! Comic book legend Alan Moore and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax -the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful... but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. Limited to just 1000 copies available!

2.5 ⭐ Well, this was an interesting read. This graphic novel starts out as a murder mystery that is very bloody and very gory. It gets into occultism and then moves further along the case, as the original investigator becomes a murderer. Then to the new investigators becoming hostages in a sex cult, that all links into HP Lovecraft. I have found Lovecraft stories to be very interesting and this take on them is quite a bit disturbing.

LibrarianRyan I find it disturbing both for the monsters, the sex, the blood, the gore all of it. I can‘t say that I liked and/or enjoyed this book but I did find it interesting. While I do like a lot of Alan Moore‘s understand why this was published indie instead of with DC or some other mainstream publisher. My final thoughts are basically “what the f… did I just read?” 2y

Really neat ideas overshadowed by over the top exploitative nonsense for teen boys. Do better, Alan! I know this was a cash grab but c'mon.

Continuing Alan Moore's take on H.P. Lovecraft. Excellent, but not for the squeamish. Trigger warning.
