The call of Cthulhu
By H. P. Lovecraft

The Call of Cthulu, the tale of a horrifying underwater monster coming to life and threatening mankind, is H.P. Lovecraft's most famous and most widely popular tale, spawning an entire mythology, with the power to strike terror into the hearts of even the Great OldOnes.




This is the one everyone seems to go on about! I’m so far loving my Lovecraft journey. This is my favourite so I can see why suggest this as the first one you read, I’m not sure you should as I’ve read a few of Lovecrafts short stories and I’m finally getting to grips on how he writes. Which I think is why I enjoyed this more the I thought.

This was the latest book that was picked for my book club, and it was the best one from that group that I have had for a long while.
I connected with the main character Sylvia from the very first chapter, her love of reading resonated with me. And I enjoyed following her journey of starting a new job, and making new friends. This book also appealed to me because of the wildlife references in it, another hobby of mine.
I wouldn't say it's a book with an exceptionally in depth story, but it's a nice easy reading, feel good book, with a nice ending to it.
I will be reading more by this author if I come across them.

One word.....Epic!

I'm reminded of medieval times right from the start. Courage, valiance, swordsmen, magic and so much more.

Niome is about to embark on an awe-inspiring mission accompanied by four friends and family......not just any mission but one that had long been foretold. The personal journeys are no less important, not only on an individual level but as a group.

This is an epic journey that leads to new friendships, strong alliances and surprises. The only thing I've struggled with is when the characters speak in their native tongue.....I'll be honest I didn't even attempt to pronounce any of it ha ha!
    That aside this is a brilliant read that is ideal for teens onwards to enjoy.

Album Favorite

"Yes – of all his albums this is the one that got me. I admire him to the nth degree, no matter what, but that record just captured me wholeheartedly when it was released, and I must have listened to it at least 2000 times. My dad was living in England at the time and it was really here that I fell into the chasm of that journey. I've so many memories of my dad taking me to these really dodgy carnivals that they would have in the suburbs, with guys with tattoos operating these iffy lifts, and I would be listening to 'Raspberry Beret' or 'Around the World in a Day' on my Walkman. I'm a lucky guy; that was a fun period."

Movie Favorite

"My second favorite film, I would probably say my most favorite documentary of all time, is a film called Brother’s Keeper by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky. Those are the same guys who did Paradise Lost and Metallica: Some Kind of Monster. Brother’s Keeper is this amazing film about a brother who was murdered, and it’s this omniscient journey as the murder gets uncovered and the investigation is happening. You know, they take one of the brothers to court, and the story just unfolds in front of you in a way that’s so twisted and bizarre and weird. This, for me, represents what a great documentary does. It just kind of unfolds in front of you in a way you can’t expect."
