Reviews for Song of Carcosa

[Neill Henderson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The overall plotline was Alessandra Zorzi investigating goings-on in Venice in order for to find a cure for Pepper's worsening nightmares. Overall the characters were intriguing, the storyline good, the other elements like Venice, disappearing Bookshops, Carcosa, 'The King in Yellow', were all done well. However, there were two issues - one minor, one major, that spoiled this story.
The minor issue was Thorne & Pepper treating byakhee as cuddly pets. Daft but easy to overlook.
The major issue, however, cannot be overlooked as it draws you out of immersion in the story everytime you realise. The issue is Thorne. Not the character (who is androgynous, flamboyant, deceitful & powerful) but the way 21st Century Preferred Pronouns are used whenever this character appears. This is supposed to be the 1920s. This spoilt what could have been one of the best Arkham Horror works to date.
