Enid Blyton meets Aliens via Lovecraft...
...actually, to be more specific, The Famous Five grow up into the Dysfunctional Scooby Doo gang and meet Aliens via H P Lovecraft.
I can think of no reason not to buy and read this book.
Unless you never read or watched any of the above named. In that case you probably wouldn't get all the jokes.
But you should still buy this book!

The Dunwitch horror
By H. P. Lovecraft
Review will be completed on Smashbomb once read and link place in comments.
A mysterious bandaged stranger in an English village turns out to be a mad scientist, who has discovered how to turn himself invisible and plans to tak over the world.
This one bored me a little I know and yes I said it bored me!! Although I still find it fascinating how Lovecraft makes you think you have read a full length novel in just 7 chapters! I’m gradually starting to understand more and more of his work!

Lovecraft country was a total surprise to me, I expected something that was totally over the top and when I saw the opening scene of the first episode it looked looked I was going to be right. However the show soon settles down and, after the first episode finds itself ground in reality, even if it is a reality contain magic. A lot of the episodes have a Lovecraftian/Pulp feel (The strange case springs instantly to mind) but they are still set in a very real feeling world and some episodes throw a real emotional punch.
The first couple of episodes focus on a couple of characters which leave some of the supporting cast feeling a bit two dimensional to begin with but, by the final episode almost everyone has been filled out and some of the best emotion comes from the characters you'd least expect.
There is violence, racism, sex and magic in Lovecraft Country so you may want to keep younger viewers away.
The series has Lovecraftian themes but also pulls on other classic literature and still manages to steer away from the more conventional monsters , there are no vampires, no zombies and, even though it's called 'Lovecraft' Country his most famous creation, Cthulhu, only has a small cameo that has no effect on the story, favouring the Shoggoth as the go-to Lovecraft creation.

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.
