Huh. I would have thought HGWells Martians would be nowhere near a match
for Cthulhu. Heinlein's SiaSL Martians, maybe...

I would've thought H.G. Wells' Martians would be MINIONS of Dread Cthulhu.

I bought "That Darn Squid God" because I met Nick and he was a nice guy,
and tried to read it, but I just couldn't get into it.

I finished it and sort of enjoyed it, but it was a "read once" type of book.
