What a cool surprise!
Modern sensibilities, Cthulhu Mythos, Urban Fantasy, Cthulhu Mythos, and even enough modern references and even math geekiness and Cthulhu Mythos to satisfy the most jaded INVESTIGATOR. :)
Nom nom nom nom...
Oh, wait, this isn't the RPG game! This is a new and theoretically ongoing series! How awesome is that? AND this duo might be gracing the tube, too? Yeah. This sharp tale pulls all the greatest story developments and classic build-ups of the Cthulhu Mythos with its lobster ...more

Review: CARTER & LOVECRAFT by Jonathan Howard

For those who aren't Lovecraft fanboys and fangirls, let me say that Jonathan Howar ...more
