Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. The Horror at Red Hook tells a story taking place in the 1920s with a New York police detective named Thomas Malone. Well plotted, twisty with an absolute uncanny untertone of demon worship I really enjoyed this story. Embarrassingly enough, I've only recently discovered Lovecraft and although I'm not really a horror fantasy fan, i immediately fell in love with his writing.
Lots of references to Greek or other myths that you wouldn't know unless you were relatively well-read; it wouldn't detract from the story if you didn't know them, but it definitely adds to the aura of this tale if you do a quick Google search to understand them. It plays down the racist bent compared to the novel and then modernizes it. Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019.
