The Other: Encounters With The Cthulhu Mythos Book Three (The Other: The Nyarlathotep Cycle 3) Reviews

Much like the books that came before it, The Other.. Book Three continues to expand on an already interesting bit of worldbuilding. We get possibly the most satisfying, and properly Cthulhu-esque ending that a book of this genre could hope to offer. If the first two Books served to pique your interest then the third installment will most definitely be to your liking. Filled with callbacks and packed with new and interesting takes on the mythos this volume serves as an excellent book end to the Series.. hopefully only for now? I took my sweet time reading the last few pages if only because I did not want the adventure to end, which is the highest possible praise that a Reader can offer an Author? Regardless, I recommend this book without hesitation to anyone who may be interested in the Cthulhu Mythos.

The author has certainly done his Lovecraftian research and the book is littered with 'easter eggs' for the Mythos fan. It's an enjoyable romp through the Lovecraft universe but the ending is very bleak and the appearance of a seemingly omnipotent character rather undercuts what has happened before.

Although this book has its flaws (the final story in particular, where attacking cultists are handwaved away as being defeated, and the part where a main character sits down to what amounts to tea and biccies with two Outer Gods, didn’t really sit well with me), it’s overall a pretty good read, and closes out the story cycle nicely, even if there’s not many of the cast left to appreciate it!

The hilarious eccentricity of Nyarlathotep at the end of this book was just icing on the cake in this great trilogy.
