Darkfall ~ Dean Koontz

Overall I felt that Darkfall probably could have been an 'okay' novella.  However, this book is like a bad sequel to a great movie, which is a shame because a bad sequel taints the memory of the original.  Some things should not be messed with, and Lovecraft's creations are one of them.

Koontz needn't have touched on Lovecraft, he's has imagination enough to create his own monstrosities, and he could have cut about two thirds of his awfully corny dialogue.  The ending did lift the story a bit, but unless you are a die hard Koontz fan you wouldn't really want to pick this one up.

However, for me, the highlights were the quotes/poetry from his fictional 'Book of Counted Sorrows'.   If he ever publishes this book, I would definitely be interested.
