Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SSS__ (Three Tentacles: Lovecraftian)
An amusing gender-flipped loose adaptation of "Dreams in the Witch House (fiction)", with plenty of added do-it-yourself-low-budget-special-effects monsters to torment the character with.
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
