Necronomicon: The Wanderings of Alhazred by Donald Tyson
2.0
I like what Donald was trying to do, but it feels very light and I don't like the structure. How can this be sold as a paperback; and not as a leatherbound hardcover?
The structure is a chosen element from Lovecrafts writings, which is covered in a chapter of 3-5 pages. Then the next and the next; the chapters being nearly independent from each other.
This is really work ONLY Lovecrafts himself could and should have done himself. For it requires expansions and inventing on the fiction - his fiction.
But Donald did great in most parts and was true to the universe and lore of the fiction.
Then all is said and done, I liked the book. It's a "fun" book; fan-fiction really. But I did get bored in with it too and just wanted to finish it.
