Final part of Trilogy was a Lovecraftian showcase
For HP Lovecraft fans, this book had it all including a cameo appearance of the Lovecraft himself. A very enjoyable and satisfying completion to this final book in the series.

Is this a H.P Lovecraft Mythos story? No.
and if you go into these three novels thinking they're going to be, you'll be disappointed. However, if you're looking for a good story where the author weaves Mythos themes to craft an entertaining tale. This is for you. McNeill is able to incorporate many historical elements into his story to capture the feel of the 1920's. Recreational reading should be entertaining and this is.

A great read!
I was very familiar with Graham McNeills work from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but I hadn't realized he wrote in the Arkham Horror arena as well. Really enjoyed this series!

Good closer tying the story together though I must say ...
Good closer tying the story together though I must say that with a hundred more pages the ending may have been a little bit less anticlimactic. Ending feels a tad rushed but the story is solid.

I'm new to the Cthulhu world and this series of books were captivating and thrilling.

The Dweller Rises
The Dweller in the Deep concludes the Dark Waters story arc (Ghouls of the Miskatonic, Bones of the Yopasi) in a horrifyingly good fashion. I had an opportunity to visit places I did not expect, and was reacquainted with some friends -- especially towards the end. There were plenty of threads linking to other parts of the HPL mythos, but not with any feeling that it was unwarranted. More of a bonus for those familiar with all of HPL's writings. Highly recommended.

An Excellent Finale
"The human capacity for horror is a fickle thing, my friends, and hangs over the abyss by a frayed thread." Isn't it just. Well, there's plenty of horror to be had in this finale chapter of the trilogy, and the characters spend so much time hung over the abyss it's a wonder they can function.But function they do as the threads spun during the previous books, and the cast assembled to weave them, all come together here in this climactic thrill ride as battle commences with their hated evil nemesis and his otherworldly minions.This is Cthulhu fiction written as I've never seen it before and I thank the author for finally doing justice to a superb genre created, unfortunately, by a man who - despite his fertile imagination - possessed limited writing ability.Characterisation is, again, well drawn and it would be worth going back to book one to see the full extent of the character's development. For each one follows their own separate journey in the series, which effects each one deeply - some tragically - but has unique consequences for everyone.There are a number of set-piece scenes here that, in the hands of someone else May well have disappointed, but Graham 's flair for the genre and his passion for the story results in each being a well crafted thrill ride.Once again, the setting is well drawn, and there are a number of nice touches. Specifically one character's meeting with 'Howard' in Providence, and Minnie's introduction to another well known author of the period as she sails home from France. There are also a number of sporting and topical references that help immerse the reader into the USA of the 1920s.This series is well recommended for fans of this genre ... and also for anyone who isn't, as each of the series' three books is an excellent tale skilfully written.
