The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.234: Call of Catthul Book 2 - Unaussprechlichen Katzen
Unaussprechlichen Katzen introduces players to the expanded world of The Call of Catthulhu, where we encounter the monstrous Hastpurr, Phatphroggua, Great Catthulhu, as well as the Catnip Out Of Space, the Mew-Go, and Doggone the Fish God (who is depicted on the cover). Whilst I rather liked some of the elements in the first book of The Call of Catthulhu, these comedic elements don’t quite do it for me - roleplaying a cat in Lovecraft’s universe reflects a level of whimsy which Lovecaft himself incorporated into his fictional worlds, but here the comedy feels like it is going too far against the grain of the source material.
