Carter & Lovecraft

Carter & Lovecraft is a perfectly solid and altogether competent novel. The plot kept my interest, it was easy to like the main characters. And yet none of these things me to believe the book was more than just decent.

The story showed a lot of potential early on, with some delightfully weird and mysterious events. Unfortunately, these elements weren't as interesting once they were explained (kind of explained?). There are some smart ideas and very creepy moments early on, but none of things I liked about the book were present as I reached the last page.
