pickRead once, listened to on Hoopla twice. Look, I never really got into the whole HPL science beyond Wikipedia-ing the plots and other elements. But the reimagined scenario within Carter & Lovecraft is beyond fun. The dialogue (internal and external) acts as ‘reality‘, with characters as individuals. It‘s sardonic and easy to put together (as much as one can with cosmic horror and rare book sellers)-even if you associate HPL with cringe.
so-soit was intriguing and well written. my only problem was the mathematics. I was very confused with that and so i couldn't fallow the story. but i believe some one could definitely enjoy it.
3/5 ⭐
pickI loved how Howard was able to combine multiple stories from Lovecraft seamlessly into a creepy, and fascinating story. Popsugar prompt: book worth under 1k reviews.
Next up for audio... looks intriguing and I am really getting into a mystery crime fiction mood.
Got this as part of one of my daily deals from BookBub. I love Lovecraft so you know I had to buy it. Really enjoying it so far.
Dipping a toe into Lovecraft adjacent material.
Loving this one hardcore. Great, weird story + my fave audiobook narrator = happy reader. 😁
Still on a sci-fi kick but this time with a detective series with Lovecraftian crimes. I am not big on detective stories but I did like the Lovecraft descendant bookseller. #sciencefiction #atozchallene #audiobook
Just started this one,it's really sucking me in, mysterious bookstore and strange going- on's, hard to put down!
What if everything HP Lovecraft wrote about was true?
pickThis was a great book. It really evoked the feeling of H. P. Lovecraft's works while being an original story. The bookstore setting and the reluctant partnership were great elements. Carter is a Private Investigator involved in a case with Lovecraftian elements. Emily Lovecraft is the bookstore employee who becomes his partner. I enjoyed this very much 😄
pickThis is a great underrated book that knows how to blend horror and crime fiction together. Fans of Lovecraft's work will love it and even if you're not, this story will pull you in. Looking forward to the sequel this year.
pickI'll admit I've never read an original Lovecraft story so I went into this without any bias for or against. What I found was a definite nod to the hard-boiled noir set with a sci-fi twist. Great characters, creepy atmosphere, and definitely enough mystery to keep you turning pages 'til the end. Looking forward to seeing how that ending is spun in the next book!
Tauntaun and I are enjoying some much needed reading time after a super stressful day at work. This book is a good mix of strange and sarcastic so far!
pickCthulu approves this modern noir reinterpretation of HP Lovecraft's weird, otherworldly mythos.
Look at the mystery I found at the library! It's about a man who is investigating a slew of deaths with the last known descendant of HP LOVECRAFT 🙆🏻 So excited to start this!
