It takes some serious writing talent to construct a Lovecraftian piece that I would like.

And Dupin does just that.

While the plot itself is flagrantly Lovecraftian, it is still significantly different than any other story of the genre, and I applaud that.

The characters, while not very layered and complex, are extremely well written, and posess enough individuality for their demises to be impactful.

The ambient is great: I hold a firm belief that everything is automatically scarier if it happens during any kind of precipitation, and here, it is further enhanced by placing the plot in Antarctica, which is basically all ice. Special credits for that.

The creatures... so-so. The Aspromorph and Mavromorph are rather interesting, even if a bit too mysterious for my taste, but the Three-Eyes is a bit... pointless. But all things considered, the creatures are acceptable (even though the crew are basically Innsmouth people with normal eyes).

All in all, I really enjoyed this piece. I can hardly wait for Melpomene to whack Dupin over head with her mask once more.
