Talk:The City from the Depths/@comment-25148755-20160722122514

The writing was fairly well done, but the plot was merely a watered down rehash of The Call of Cthulu. You mention the sensitive artist, Wilcox, from that story here who has an almost identical experience other than the noted difference in medium to depict his dreams.

Other than the difference at the end where Cthulu takes destroys the ship rather than being driven back into Ryleh, even the encounter of the crew is almost identical. So while I could appreciate the style as a Lovecraft fan, I really question the necessity. If the Great Old Ones have returned, as Ms. Fern has indicated, I believe the world would know about it from something other than the journal of a dead woman...like the existence of a giant squid headed kaiju destroying cities and such.
