Reviewer caesar666 had not known Tem before but notes his prolific career and awards. Lovecraft Museum (Italian edition by Edizioni Hypnos) is a Shirley Jackson Awards 2016 finalist. The story's first part is described as conventional, but the museum's description is praised as vividly surreal. Overall recommendation to fans of the 'weird' and Lovecraft.
