It's a solid book, but it's almost three books in one. Part one was a bit of a drag. I get that the author was setting the tone for the ending, but I found it a slog. Once he got to part two, it really picked up and became exactly what I was looking ...more

Troy Young liked Nelson's review of The Other: Encounters With The Cthulhu Mythos Book One (The Other: The Nyarlathotep Cycle 1): "Excellent Cthulhu investigator styled stories. Shorts that all contribute to the storyline arc. Similar to the Delta Green RPG if you played it. Great book. Going onto the 2nd book."
