Reminds me of vantablack http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/show...Vantablack

I just finished In the Walls of Eryx, one of Lovecraft's sci-fi short stories, actually one of his last (1935 - COoS was 1927).  It's a tale of a space prospector getting caught in an invisible maze trap on Venus while hunting crystals.  It's dated though because the spacesuit is made of leather, which seems absurd now.  I had the most remarkable flashes of deja vu while reading this.  It's a story, like so much of the pulp fiction that I read in my teens and twenties, that I thought I'd completely forgotten, but as I read it, certain passages would ring a bell.  That happened while reading the Moorcock book I read last week.  Stuff I thought I'd forgotten.  Somehow, it's a bit more eerie with Lovecraft.  

I'm savoring these short stories, but will review it when I finish it, like always. I mean, what else have I got to do now?
