dark mysterious tense slow-paced

4.0

Enjoyed this more than The Shadow Over Innsmouth, but man I really hate the way he writes accents. It's so hard to read. It also isn't lost on me that the only character whose dialogue is written with no accent is Dr. Armitage aka Lovecraft's self-insert character. 🙃
