verkisto's review against another edition
3.0
Either these books get a little bit better as the line increases, or I'm just used to them. Maybe it's a little of both.
I prefer these standalone books to the series that were published with the Arkham Horror license, but I still don't think any of them are great books. Evans is a fine enough writer -- his characters are distinctive, his narrative is solid, and the plot is compelling -- but I get the feeling I won't remember a lot of details from this book a year from now. Given that I don't know the Lovecraft mythos well enough to know what the creatures were in this book (and I couldn't be bothered to look it up) probably tells you a lot about my feelings on it.
This is the last of the books I have based on Arkham Horror. I don't expect I'll read any more of them.
