Why read it?
1 author picked Cthulhu's Minions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Craft’s books are not as well known as some other Lovecraftian writers on this list, but they should be.
He takes the expected details for any Lovecraft-inspired story then turns it sideways. He weaves in an atmosphere from the hardboiled mystery writers of Lovecraft’s era, such as Dashiel Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
Cthulhu’s Minions starts a series which follows the Arkham Detective as he falls deeper into a world he never knew existed. This book taught me that a writer can take an existing world that is familiar to readers and still make it their own.
From John's list on Lovecraftian fiction you might have missed.
