I didn't have high expectations for this book. After all, a name like The Rage of Cthulhu brings to mind the many fan-written books about Lovecraft's most infamous monster, most of which aren't the highest quality.It's true that this book suffers from a predictable plot. I was able to guess everything that was going to happen well in advance and solve every mystery as soon as it was introduced. Even the book's twist was easy to see coming.Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading this book. It's ent...
After being medically retired George and his wife decide to spend some of what time he has left travelling round the world. Starting off in the picturesque town of Whitby, George stumbles across a derelict foghorn station and whilst he investigates the damage to the building gets embroiled into a mystery of an ancient being which will follow him around the world.Not having read HP Lovecraft’s The Call of Cthulhu, I had no idea what this creature was or the history behind it, but after reading th...
I received my copy of Rage of Cthulhu by Gary Fry as an eBook from the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.Before I read it, I wondered what kind of Cthulhu story this would be, would it be a simple mythos story set loosely in Cthulhu’s fictive universe or a random second rate story referring to the great old one. Well no, this is a sequel and modern take on Lovecraft’s classic tale “the call of Cthulhu”, its well written and atmospheric. When it comes to the plot I feel like I cannot sa...
Review copyI don't think the subject matter of the new novella from Gary Fry is much of a secret. With a title like The Rage of Cthulhu the reader has a pretty good idea of what to expect."Cthulhu still lives, too, I suppose, again in that chasm of stone which has shielded him since the sun was young. Who knows the end? What had risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time will come." - H.P. Lov...
Readers familiar with H. P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror stories will be comfortable within the cozy confines of the new Cthulhu novella THE RAGE OF CTHULHU by Gary Fry. Fry provides a sequel to Lovecraft’s “The Call of Cthulhu” (first published in 1928) that also serves as a chilling standalone story. Fry’s update is told in a narrative style that moves fluidly from chapter to chapter. It’s an account of individual exploration and discovery leading to a horrific encounter, similar to the style th...
George Cox is dying. The tumour in his brain, while slowly killing him, is causing odd behaviours, hallucinations and delusions. When he explores an abandoned foghorn and starts to investigate, he discovers an ancient religion, worshipping a creature so vast and hideous that few who see it retain their sanity. So far so familiar for most horror fans – the clue was in the title after all. But Gary Fry has a few surprises up his sleeve that make the story fresh and interesting. The POV character i...
A man with a brain tumour, which affects his perception, wants to enjoy his last days by travelling with his wife. Entering a foghorn he finds himself pulled into a search for one of the Old Ones.The story is creepy, the history of Cthulhu is fascinating, as is the journey to other cultures. It is a good read and not too short, allowing plenty of description.It falls down on the repetition for me, too many times being told the same thing. I also found myself being irritated by the wife. *I volun...
