On: The Edge of Horror

Neato. May read.

I have a weird (to me) affinity for the tropes of Lovecraft horror, but I can't get past the writing. I'd be happy for other recommendations, besides Sloane, of things that touched on the same theme but with tighter writing.

Charlie Stross has done a series of books, the Laundry Series, that are a combination of Lovecraftian horror and Len Deighton style Cold-War spy novels.

I'm also rather fond of Charlie's novella "A Colder War" - which features items from the Cthulhu mythos as Cold War WMDs - it has a seriously creepy ending.

"Resume with Monsters" by William Browning Spencer is kind of like a slacker version of Carlie Stross's Laundry Files novels.

And Alan Moore did a lovecraftian graphic novel set in the current era called Neonomicon

Fair warning, Neonomicon has Moore's...usual uncomfortable fascinations turned up to the max.

If you're interested in graphic novels, Fatale by Brubaker and Phillips is a noir/Lovecraft tropes mashup. Really well done.
