![]() ![]() Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.Īlthough Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. ![]() Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien.

It’s a big book, but even so, there is only so much we can do with that word length and we have a lot of things left to explore. ![]() What better way to create a redemption arc than through the romance novel trope of an arranged marriage with a strong and powerful woman?Īnd…it totally works. The second book will focus more on Elara. Hugh and his Iron Dogs have failed Kate’s father too many times, and now they’re out of Roland’s protective sphere. This is where Andrews’ ability to create three-dimensional characters shines. He’s responsible for so much death and misery, so why would we be interested in reading a book starring him, much less a book that involves a romance? You might remember Hugh d’Ambray as Kate’s evil father’s right-hand man, leader of a killing force of monsters and responsible for a lot of pain in Kate’s life and those of her friends. ![]() This is my first time reading this novel, which the authors have advised should be read prior to reading Kate Daniels #10: Magic Triumphs.

Salaries were low after the War, so good libraries were a MUST.Īfter the supermarkets, banks and liquor stores, new libraries ranked high in those burgeoning burbs - along with new churches (we still believed back then!) - on the priority list of must-have new buildings.Īnd the summer before the library opened, Mom was a one-woman army of industry, cataloguing new books on our kitchen table. As the birth rate increased, so did the need for entertainment to keep the kids happy, and few of us had a TV in the mid fifties. Kids were everywhere, even though our typical town's size at first was small. One of my Mom's favourite strategies (probably at the direction of her Library Board, though at that time it was her own pet project too) was to provide our town with a plethora of kid's books. Back in 1957, my Mom's village library opened to a steady stream of visitors. ![]() |
