That Which Should Not Be

Imagine that there was a book so powerful that the wielder of this book could alter reality, control the weak-minded, bring back all-powerful beings from the dead, and then take over the world with those beings. That book is called the Incendium Maleficarum. The Incendium Maleficarum was once discovered by the Pharaohs of old, which they used to build the pyramids and rise up their empires, then it was passed on to the Israelites as they were freed from captivity, then it finally ended up in the ark of the covenant. After that nobody knows what happened to it, until it appears one day in a small town in the middle of no-where, and a young man named Carter Weston is tasked to retrieve it.

I really loved how this book was set out. It has five separate short stories in it, but those stories are being told to Carter by people he meets on his journey. I really liked how Carter's story still flowed really well even though there were five stories intertwined into it. The conclusion itself was awesome as well!

Another thing I really liked was how the ‘Old Ones' (Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth etc.) are actually made out to be Nephilim, which I never knew before.

For my first Cthulhu mythos book, this one was absolutely amazing, and it's for sure not going to be my last!
