Compared to Lovecraft's world though, Mann's is far more optimistic - the impending sense of doom in most of Lovecraft's work is what really kept me gripped to them, whereas in ''Ghosts of War'', one never doubts that the Ghost will save the day.
The reader is certainly taken on a fun read along the way though - and if you're looking for something diverting and non-taxing, this is ideal! Mann makes no secret of the fact that this is supposed to be Pulp Fiction - so don't pick this up looking for the next Booker Prize winner, but instead , expect a thrilling page -turner with fun monsters and exciting characters.
I'll be looking forward to the next in the series- thanks to the publishers for the copy.
If you enjoyed the beasts and madmen who roam Mann's Manhattan, [[Letters to Lovecraft : Eighteen Whispers to the Darkness by Jesse Bullington (editor)]] is a collection of short stories by various authors, who craft enchanting,macabre and truly lovecraftian Lovecraftian tales.
