Absolutely loved this book. Kept true to the Cthulhu Mythos.
The Tarot deck that goes along with this was gorgeous as well.

An unfortunate book, in that the first half is uniformly excellent, and the second half is both dull and too sprawling for its own good, with far too many loose ends left by the time to put down the last page. I would recommend the first half to any Lovecraft fan, or even any fan of Arabian Nights-style adventure, with the warning it may be a bit more gory than you're used to. However, the hefty price tag may deter some, especially since the second half of the poor is rather poor. Rated 3 stars since it's a half-5 star book, a half-1 star book.
