Review of “The Horror on the Beach”


Meh. This is not nearly as good as Some Notes. Maybe because it was intended to be a Mythos story. We have an old house, with a creepy history, leading to cultists trying to summon everything, and a few pages of one character telling everything that’s happening to another instead of leaving it hidden. Meh.


Heavy handed plots. Rotate the characters. Not really something that moves me. The writing was fine, the pacing was a bit slow and I wanted to get to the good parts, and so forth. Anyways, there you are. Just 2 stars. Sorry!


How about Donald Burleson's "The Eye of Hlu-Hlu" next?
