Description Victor LaValle's novella is a retelling of Lovecraft's infamous The Horror at Red Hook from the perspective of an African American. Really interesting story, especially when paired with the other.

Oh shit, that sounds like a cool book!! Thanks for the rec, I'll have to tell my partner about it. They love the Lovecraftian universe.

Man you just always do such great things with textures!! I'm super digging this paper feel, and all the colors are so on point. That blue light emanating on that guitar is such a nice color mix, and that creature's starry eyes are just so fun. Being able to see stars through them adds that extra unexpected sense of depth, too, like you're looking into space. Then there's that splash of slightly more vivid color in that little box-like hallway, which just, really draws your eye after you've taken your time looking at the bigger elements of the picture. And the dude in this picture looks so swank, too!! and just, having that tentacle come down past the bottom of that sharp cutoff--uggggh I love your knack for composition

Thank you! I took inspiration from old noir posters and how they used collage as a means for advertising the film—of course, there's are much more involved than this simplified version of it. Still means a lot tho, thank you!

Ohh, that makes a lot of sense!! I was trying to figure out how to describe it, but that's pretty much exactly the feel: like a collage. You put a lot of thought into it.
