Cthulhu Attacks!: : Book 1: The Fear
by Sean Hoade
Well here we have an interesting take on Lovecraftian lore. You've got people who try to imitate Lovecraft and people who read Lovecraft and make them own. Either way, I love Lovecraftian (both).
Sometimes the latter go a bit weird even for me BUT that's the price for innovation.
Cosmic Horror has always been a passion to me if you know me.
This take it's a bit different. Here we've got Lovecraft as a real writer, a person believe he was a vessel who dreamt of worlds and old beings and put it on paper. This after some strange being appear where R'lye is supposed to be and killing 500 million people within 45 seconds while all other beings having headaches and other mental stuff.
They call it the point of inaccessibility which just would like you to know that in the story The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft, he hold it as the location of the fictional city of R'lyeh, although this story was written 66 years before the official discovery of Point Nemo. Strange coincidences? What about that noise, the loudest one recorded in the sea, which was recorded near that place. well all of these things are mentioned here. This is a fanboy story, no matter how you look at it. And it's a good one.
Well, the story follows a couple of characters, one is asergeant, lieutenant, captain major while trying to convince the president of the united states that Cthulhu is indeed the correct possibility instead of nuclear weapons or other earthly stuff; we also follow a woman who is investigating tribes on the papua nova guinea and deep Louisiana and other hilly billy places. There are also other characters but their purpose is very small (for this novel, maybe for the sequel)
Afterwards after they are convince that it's indeed Cthulhu but yet the countries cannot put their differences aside. They device a plan to kill Cthulhu with all their nuclear weapons but some countries really want to strike at usa, Russia and china.
In-between he talks about some interesting scholars on Lovecraft like Joshi and other Easter Eggs. Is it a good book? Nope. Is it fun? Of course. Read it if you enjoy Cthulhu stories.
The story ends with a cliff-hanger, where most people are crazy or dead unless they
