American Elsewhere by Robert Jackson Bennett
5.0

Best novel of 2013 so far and the best Robert Jackson Bennett book to date. Like his previous novella, To Be Read Upon Your Waking, American Elsewhere is both a homage and a critic to H.P. Lovecraft, being as terrifying and as haunting, but is written in a much better prose, with less adjectives, with a little humor and with some great female characters. And the love story between the two women is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking I've read in the last couple of years. HPL must be screaming in his grave.
