Why read it?

1 author picked Can You Sign My Tentacle? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

How can we trust what we will get in return? How do our personal histories inform how we will respond to the void when it comes knocking? A lively, thoughtful read.  

From Premee's list on modern cosmic horror.
