Tentacle Ratings

A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:

• S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

There's not much here of Lovecraft's sense of breathless weirdness, but the paranoia descending on a small team in an icy mountain-top research station is reminiscent of "The Thing" (and, by extension, "At the Mountains of Madness (fiction)"), while the antagonists revealed in the twist ending won't be too far out of line with Lovecraftian science.

Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
