The Damned Highway: Fear and Loathing in Arkham

The Damned Highway: Fear and Loathing in Arkham by Nick Mamatas and Brian Keene is an intelligent, unique novel that will get you thinking. Politics, drugs, paranoia, the old gods, conspiracies, one crazy writer and a heap of strangeness fill this thrilling novel. The publisher has described The Damned Highway as a combination of the gonzo journalism of Hunter S. Thompson and terrors of H.P. Lovecraft, and I can think of no better or accurate description. In fact, I am still having trouble coming up with words that can do justice to this incredibly smart, funny and thought provoking work. It was among the strangest, and greatest, books that I have read in the last five years.
