by Graham Mc Neil vol 1 of the Dark Water Triology.
This is the FFG published series based on Arkham Horror,
well not the Game but the Game World.
Being a Mythos slut I preordered when FFG announced
it LAST October.I figured a Lovecraft based Trilogy
Most Mythos stuff is short stories or one off books
(being devoured or going insane has that effect),
so 3 connected books was cool.Little did I realize
I would wait nearly a year for them to publish it
Anyway it came & I just finished it & can safely tell you
Tolstoy can rest easy.It's OK but I'm not holding my breath
for volume 2(I will buy it of course .
Mc Neil uses some of the Arkham Horror Inv.in his book which
sort of weakens the story,as you know nothing is really going
to happen to them.
The body count is just over the top even for Arkham,
the story involves a Cult,Ghouls & Mi-Go which was a little
loosed ended as to their relationship but I guess that will be
tied up in the next books.
Not bad but unless your a real AH fan it's rather meh...
Oh I will send my $1.99(S&H) to FFG & get the Oliver Grayson
Ally Card(hopeless Mythos slut).
