The Place Called Dagon (Lovecraft's Library)

Rating:
Summary: Expected better
Review: Though published as "Lovecraft's Library", "Dagon" is not HPL at all, even with the inbred villagers, somewhat shunned outsider and Massachusetts setting. The plot itself is good once it gets going, it just seems to be resolved too easily in the end. Due to the uneven writing of rambling thoughts and theories, the lead character does not come across as all that sympathetic, and there's not enough of the much more interesting villain. It's not that the book is bad, one just expected a Lovecraft type tale and got one closer to "Harvest Home" in plot.
