Summary: Good story ...really funny editing
Review: This was an interesting story, little to do with HPL, but interesting none the less. The humor comes in as you read along and start playing continuity police. Misspellings, characters switching in mid conversation, a magic car that can't decide if its a Lincoln, a Dodge or a Plymouth, etc... Once I stopped being upset at the quality of the editing and got into the game, I started counting/writing down the mistakes from pg 116 on and hit 39 "oopses". This book is a prime example of "proof reading by spellcheck". So the question becomes Did Wildside Press fire all their proof readers before printing this book? If you get distracted by continuity errors, try another of Bischoffs books. If it doesnt bother you, this at least has interesting characters and a plot line with potential.
