Carter & Lovecraft
Carter & Lovecraft | Jonathan L. Howard
From author Jonathan L. Howard comes the start of a thrilling supernatural series that brings the H.P. Lovecraft mythos into the twenty-first century, optioned by Warner Bros TV. Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case -- the hunt for a serial killer -- went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now he's a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him. First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he's never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn't want a new boss. She's Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft, the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man. Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesn't want to be involved, but he's beginning to suspect that someone else wants him to be. As he reluctantly investigates, he discovers that Lovecraft's tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept another unexpected, and far more unwanted inheritance.

it was intriguing and well written. my only problem was the mathematics. I was very confused with that and so i couldn't fallow the story. but i believe some one could definitely enjoy it.

3/5 ⭐

I loved how Howard was able to combine multiple stories from Lovecraft seamlessly into a creepy, and fascinating story. Popsugar prompt: book worth under 1k reviews.

Still on a sci-fi kick but this time with a detective series with Lovecraftian crimes. I am not big on detective stories but I did like the Lovecraft descendant bookseller. #sciencefiction #atozchallene #audiobook

This was a great book. It really evoked the feeling of H. P. Lovecraft's works while being an original story. The bookstore setting and the reluctant partnership were great elements. Carter is a Private Investigator involved in a case with Lovecraftian elements. Emily Lovecraft is the bookstore employee who becomes his partner. I enjoyed this very much 😄

MommyOfTwo Sounds good 7y
WhatDeeReads Is that a kraken?! 7y
elkeOriginal @WhatDeeReads It's Cthulhu - not that I can now say what he is. I just recognize him from life! It's a Lovecraft creation. 7y

This is a great underrated book that knows how to blend horror and crime fiction together. Fans of Lovecraft's work will love it and even if you're not, this story will pull you in. Looking forward to the sequel this year.

I'll admit I've never read an original Lovecraft story so I went into this without any bias for or against. What I found was a definite nod to the hard-boiled noir set with a sci-fi twist. Great characters, creepy atmosphere, and definitely enough mystery to keep you turning pages 'til the end. Looking forward to seeing how that ending is spun in the next book!

Tauntaun and I are enjoying some much needed reading time after a super stressful day at work. This book is a good mix of strange and sarcastic so far!

Cthulu approves this modern noir reinterpretation of HP Lovecraft's weird, otherworldly mythos.

catsuit_mango I've got the same plush Cthulhu, I probably need to read this story ;) 6y

Look at the mystery I found at the library! It's about a man who is investigating a slew of deaths with the last known descendant of HP LOVECRAFT 🙆🏻 So excited to start this!
