My local public library director pulled this from the shelves after a parental complaint, not even following the policies the library has for contested items. Moore wanted to elaborate on some of the ideas presented in The Courtyard while at the same time telling a modern story that did not rely upon a 1930s atmosphere. In one way, this is a perfectly valid concern and approach, the rascist and sexual attitudes of Lovecraft tend to be glossed over by modern readers and simply shrugged off as 'oh, that's how it was at the time', as a lot of people do with Robert E. Christensen] from Avatar Press, and he suggested that he could provide some if I was up for doing a four-part series, so I did.

But what’s clear is that FBI and the Paranormal are a great storytelling combination which works as good as bread and butter!Maybe some of you remember by review about Providence, if not, it’s relevant to say that the stories collected here, The Courtyard and Neonomicon are linked to Providence, which it serves as prequel AND sequel to the first two mentioned stories. Lovecraft would probably smile (malevolently) at Moore's and Burrow's execution (well, multiple executions, as it turns out, no surprise. There is beauty in the detail and Neonomicon definitely whets the appetite for their masterpiece, Providence.

Once The Courtyard story concludes we jump forward a couple of years and on to Neonomicon, where we meet Agents Brears and Lamper who are in the process of interrogating the now insane Sax. Not sure how much that was needed as it doesn't add anything to the character and it's only briefly brushed as a hate toward herself.Wow, this is a book about a woman who struggles with sex addiction being locked in a room and sexually assaulted by a monster over the course of a week, which solves all her problems.
