One of my last ARCs from Netgalley, for reasons only beknownst to me. As per usual, all opinions are my own, although I can’t guarantee that since my recent COVID vaccination. Anyway… Who doesn’t love a bit of Lovecraftian writing? Yeah, well what would you know? I digress. This is a new entry into the Arkham Horror series by the […]
Who doesn’t love a bit of Lovecraft? Okay, maybe not everybody, but I sure do. “A bit of Lovecraft” perfectly encapsulates this tale. While it’s doesn’t register as Mythos in my tiny brain, the influences are well on display, with many similarities to stories set around Innsmouth. It’s also quite good and will appeal to fans of Lovecraft and weird […]
I received a free audio copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my opinion. Salem Hawley returns as the emancipated slave who dares take on the Lovecraft canon. This time Salem travels to Arkham to retrieve a tome, Al Azif, before it falls into the wrong hands. When Salem arrives at the […]
I received a free audio copy from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. This in no way imaginable alters my opinions. I still remember enjoying the Necroscope series back in the dawn of my 20s. While I often wonder if my opinion of it today would be different to those of my salad days, despite it being nearly […]
I nabbed this one on Netgalley ages ago, and completely forgot what it was about, so I was essentially reading it blind. Which may have actually played in its favour. The story revolves around bodies being dug up in Manhattan, and people suspect doctors, who are looking for cadavers to advance their medical knowledge, are behind it. One man, an […]
So, it looks like there’s a new sheriff in town. There was a lot of talk about The Gutter Prayer pre-release – best debut of 2019 and so forth. “Hang on,” you say. “Best debut of 2019? In January? Isn’t that a bit, well, premature?” Still, I was sold. I’m not necessarily a “believe the hype” type, but I grabbed […]
***Take note people – due to a booboo on behalf of the ARC provider, who shall remain nameless due to their usual awesomeness, the review for The Herald of Autumn is actually based on The Harrowing of Twilight and vice versa. Rather than rewrite both reviews (due to laziness), please consider that when reading criticisms. Both books are well worth reading.*** Tommy […]
Another day, another audiobook finished. This time we have CT Phipps’ homage to HP Lovecraft, and we run the gamut through much of HPL’s more popular stories, tying it all together nicely along the way. The Old Ones have returned and laid waste to the Earth, leaving a planet greatly changed from the one we know. Much of the Earth […]
