The story effectively utilizes the Diogenes Club as a setting for developing countermeasures against neural psychoses, grounding the supernatural in a tangible crisis. By linking London events to Innsmouth, the text expands its conspiracy beyond Britain, adding depth to the threat posed by the Old Ones.
