Theological review of “The Festival”:
This is the story of someone who goes back to his ancestral town to celebrate Yule, only to find his relatives there are a bunch of weirdos who use the Necronomicon as a sourcebook for the ritual. This is another nearly-no-plot wonder, and no one does anything worthy of scariness. There is also nothing here of particular theological interest.
Theological rating: I (for lack of relevant material).
Scariness rating: I, still wearing my pants, mock this story.
In the queue for tomorrow: “The Call of Cthulhu”. If you get annoyed by only one Cthulhu Mythos tale, get annoyed by this one!
