Why read it?
1 author picked Dark Origins as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Published by the makers of the Arkham Horror board and card games, the four novellas in this book follow characters from the game, giving them depth and background, bringing them to life.
This book is a perfect example of taking an existing license and transporting it to a new medium. The writing itself is modern and accessible while the stories take place in the prohibition era. What I enjoyed most is that these stories show Lovecraft created more monsters than just Cthulhu.
There is more danger in Lovecraftian fiction than one horrible, sleeping god.
From John's list on Lovecraftian fiction you might have missed.
