Hmm, not really my thing. Kind of a chill, New York-y Lovecraftian vibe. I think I was expecting more character exploration, which seems illogical after reading the synopsis.
If you dig Lovecraft, you’ll likely be into this.

I had great hopes for this book, as I had liked his Destroyer limited run comic series for Image. The premise and characters are interesting, but the book moves far too slowly and the writing is too ridden with adverbs and creative dialogue tags.
