The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. In her small Virginia hometown, she's the maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones - each of whom has dumped the planning in her hands. One bride is set on including a Native American herbal purification ceremony while another wants live peacocks on the lawn. But when an offensive newcomer, who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer - before the next event is her own funeral.

In Jasper Fforde's Great Britain, circa 1985, time travel is routine, cloning is a reality (dodos are the resurrected pet of choice), and literature is taken very, very seriously. England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection.

The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.

Extremely Good!
I can’t help but notice that most of the complaining about this book is over the “feminist” commentary. This is not the case at all nor should it be the sticking point of the review. I in no way found this theme overwhelming.
This is a more than adequate companion to Mask of Silver and was actually good enough that I went back to the previous book because I found this one first and enjoyed it so much that I was delighted to discover two more books that are both prequel and sequel. The protagonist in the book is a plucky thing and extremely likable. Her “I can do anything” attitude and feisty but good natured temperament seems to fit perfectly well with the rebellious spirit of The Flapper Detective.
I would have given it five stars except for a few things that did fall a little flat. Some of the latter part of the tale meanders a bit, and there are a few blink-and-what-happened pacing surges but it was a very enjoyable read …and my masculinity wasn’t threatened even once.

Love the series; this one is a little heavy handed
This series so far has been amazing; from the print only (so far) to the most recent. To date the heroes and heroines are distinct and while not as environmentally horror filled as old HP himself, most read as an adventure RPG should. That said, this volume is a little heavy handed with the “girls rule and boys drool” feminism that while present in some of the series, has been to date somewhat period appropriate and story appropriate. Unfortunately, it detracts from this installment as it went from a heroine that you could get behind, to a cross between a bad hallmark film and social engineering of the 2020’s not the 1920’s.
Strong women in the Arkham horror series have hitherto proven themselves amazing so by their actions not their social commentary, and the men did not (until this volume) need to qualify their competency with a minority status.
In all, while fun and engrossing as the previous volumes, this one is distracting with its asides and “gummy bear and unicorn” feel good hallmark moments stuck between the gross incompetence and blatant stupidity (or outright evil) of the male characters (not just entering puberty, or minority status).
I would recommend this to further the story previously told in the “mask of silver” (which did far better with character development and showcasing social issues) but not as a stand alone choice to sample this series.
