Publisher's Summary

After the End of the World by Jonathan L. Howard brings the H. P. Lovecraft mythos into the 21st century.

The Unfolded World is a bitter and unfriendly place for Daniel Carter and Emily Lovecraft. In this world the Cold War never happened because the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1941. In this world the Nazi Großdeutschland is the premier superpower and is not merely tolerated but indulged because, in this world, the Holocaust happened behind the ruins of the Iron Curtain and consumed only Bolsheviks, Communists, and others the West was glad to see gone. In this world there are monsters, and not all of them are human.

But even in the Unfolded World, there are still bills to pay and jobs to do. Carter finds himself working for the German secret security service to uncover the truth behind a major scientific joint project that is going suspiciously well. The trail takes Lovecraft and him to a distant, abandoned island and a conspiracy that threatens everything. To fight it, Lovecraft must walk a perilously narrow path between forbidden knowledge and soul-destroying insanity.

Fortunately, she also has a shotgun.

This dark, captivating audiobook will send listeners into a twisted version of the world they will be thankful not to inhabit.

good story

The story is fun, and intriguing. The different world it is portrayed in doesnt feel like a stretch and it goes well in the context. I have really enjoyed these characters and hope that their story continues soon.

Confused by author’s choices

I love this author but it felt like he had no idea what to do with this story. There was none of the eldritch creepiness of the first novel. I think he just threw in a few fish men at the end so it would loosely connect back. At the end of the book the characters are in the exact same position as at the end of the first book. So what was the point? And I just didn’t get the whole love triangle thing -or was it a love triangle? Carter and Lovecraft’s relationship gets so muddy I don’t know what the author was intending. I’m confused by the whole narrative. I know what happened - I just don’t know why the author would take the story in the direction he did. Since there doesn’t appear to be a third book coming just stop after the first book. I’m going to pretend that’s what I did and forget I ever listened to this.
