Reviews

 “Review. A Shining Star gives an inside look into a suburban high school. The political misogyny and petty jealousies are behind the scenes in a place we are all familiar with but actually know little about. What at first seems benign can actually be dangerous. Marilyn, a brilliant curriculum consultant has to negotiate a minefield of mysteries and unsettling events to discover someone wishes her ill. Well rounded background and peopled with interesting characters this book is absorbing and engaging. It will keep you guessing until the final reveal.” .

Gou has done it again.
Format: Paperback
I like the original text, I love the adaptation because it doesn't stray too far from it. The illustration is beautiful and sometimes gross (In a good way, I mean it's a cosmic horror about people turning into fish, maybe don't read it right before a meal or before bed.) Gou Tanabe has been working through many of H.P Lovecraft's more popular or interesting stories and this one is just about as good as the rest. The translation as always is very good throughout with only one or two "Wait, what?" moments which could have come from reading the original text differently. I definitely recommend this book and several of others from Gou Tanabe if you love cosmic horror, manga, or H.P Lovecraft.

An Eldritch Tale Deserving the Manga Treatment
Format: Paperback
One of Lovecraft's very best (and my personal favourite of his macabre tales), rendered in grotesque mana style. While it doesn't eclipse its inspiration, I thoroughly enjoyed this unique take on a classic tale.
