So over the past couple years, I've listened to all of the stories from HP Lovecraft and while I was interested at first, I quickly grew bored of the generic seeming stories, the constant "indescribable" things, and the racism rampant in Lovecraft's writing. All of which is disappointing because I love the idea of his other worlds, his old gods, and his horrors.

This book, however, while not exactly PC with it's terminology regarding other races does not feel to me (although do not take my word for it as a white person) to be outright racist, just that it was trying to match the previous works in style. This book also was much more enjoyable than any of Lovecraft's stories, but I have more than a passing affection for Sherlock Holmes thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch.
