Rezension von Fanni DunaiMasodik kedvenc konyvem az irotol, nagyon szepen felepitve, egy oriasi fordulattal a vegen. Fohosunk egy egyetemista fiu, aki az epiteszeti csodakat szeretne utazasa soran megtekinteni, igy keveredik vegul a rosszhirerol neves Innsmouth varosaba, ahol a legfurcsabb emberekkel es tortenesekkel talalkozik utja soran. Egy oregember hatborzongato torteneket mesel neki a faluban a varos korulovezo misztikus tortenesekrol, halemberekrol akik verfertozo kapcsolatokat kertek aranyert cserebe a varos lakoitol, akik torzszulott gyerekeket szultek, akik felnove halhatatlanokkent a tengerbe visszavonulnak a halemberekhez. Az a hosszan kifejtett jelenet, amelyben fohosunk menekul a varos ratamado lakoi elol egyszeruen zsenialis, olyan reszletesseggel van megfogalmazva, hogy teljesen bele tudjuk elni magunkat a helyebe. A vegen kiderul, hogy fohosunk dedanyja egyike a hirhedt Innsmouthiak kozul, es o is verdertozes aldozata, es a kor elorehaladtaval csunyan eltorzul arca es almaiban a dedanyja szol hozza, hogy kovesse ot a tengerbe, o pedig koveti!
