The first half was chilling and eerie, the second half vague and misty, hard to imagine. While I loved Creep, Shadow, Creep! I found a similar experience with The Metal Monster. There's something about Merritt's language that can be hard to picture at times. I give him props for not just falling back on "unknowable vistas beyond human imagination" and instead actually trying to describe things, but I find that it can make for difficult reading. I finished Moorcock's The Final Programme. It felt very much like an homage to J.G. Ballard. I dug it, though wouldn't rank it amongst his greats.Now I'm reading L. Sprague De Camp's The Tritonian Ring.</blockquote>
