The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe by Kij Johnson

4.0

There have been a lot of revisitings and reenvisionings of Lovecraft these past few years--all to the good, in my opinion. While the Lovecraft mythos is rich, his writing is also HUGELY problematic (news to no one, I know). To have authors I admire and trust dig into that mythos and remake and retell it is a real pleasure for me. This happens to be one of my favourites so far, so rich and strange and creepy and wonderful.
