A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year
"Carter & Lovecraft is a Pandora's box loaded with all the wonderfully twisted stuff I love, including a two-fisted homicide cop turned PI, warped realities, a mysterious bookstore, the Cthulhu mythos, a dash of romance, and creepy fish-men. What's not to love? Jonathan L. Howard knows how to show his readers a wickedly good time." ―Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author Dead Ringers
Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case―the hunt for a serial killer―went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now he's a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him.
First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he's never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn't want a new boss. She's Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft, the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man.
Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesn't want to be involved, he's beginning to suspect that someone else wants him to be. As Carter reluctantly investigates, he discovers that H. P. Lovecraft's tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept another unexpected, and far more unwanted, inheritance.

Review
“Carter & Lovecraft is a Pandora's Box loaded with all of the wonderfully twisted stuff I love, including a two-fisted homicide cop turned P.I., warped realities, a mysterious bookstore, the Cthulhu mythos, a dash of romance, and creepy fish-men. What's not to love? Jonathan L. Howard knows how to show his readers a wickedly good time.” ―Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Dead Ringers on Carter & Lovecraft
“Something new under Lovecraft's leering stars. Once again we discover that H.P. Lovecraft 's tales were more than mere fictions, and so is this novel―it's a very good fiction. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more novels from Mr. Howard (no, not Robert E. but Jonathan L.).” ―Brian Lumley, author of Necroscope, on Carter & Lovecraft
“So much Lovecraftian fiction misses the point. You want to shake the author and shout, 'Weren't you paying attention?' Jonathan L. Howard gets it right and offers a delightfully original (and non-Euclidean) twist on the mythos and H.P. Lovecraft himself. Highly recommended.” ―F. Paul Wilson, author of the Repairman Jack series, on Carter & Lovecraft
“Layer by layer, Howard deconstructs the Lovecraftian universe. His detective protagonist is plunged into the heart of a bloody mystery where every step forward brings him closer to doom, and where every revelation peels away the familiar, the known, and finally, all that is rational. Carter & Lovecraft is a sleek, addicting horror novel that gleefully inverts and contradicts Mythos tropes.” ―Laird Barron, author of The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All
“In the cosmic darkness between Sam Spade and Dirk Gently, there's a nest of tentacles. On that nest of tentacles is Jonathan L. Howard's Carter and Lovecraft. You are here. It doesn't get any more weird-boiled than this.” ―Stephen Graham Jones, author of Growing Up Dead in Texas
"Providence (including its more imaginary pockets of cosmic wrongness) comes to life in this pleasant mix of mystery and eldritch horror from the author of the "Johannes Cabal" series. The two engaging protagonists could easily ground an ongoing series of otherwordly whodunits." ―Library Journal
"Howard’s take on Lovecraft and his influence is unexpected and somewhat unique – and one of several reasons why this inaugural title is noteworthy." ―Bookgasm
“Howard is a supremely talented writer and the Johannes Cabal series makes for superb reading. It would be easy at this point to say if you like Rankin or Fforde or Pratchett or Holt, then you will love these books, but while it may well be true it would be doing Howard a disservice.” ―Sci-Fi-London on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Genre fans will appreciate Howard's attention to world building, while more general readers will simply enjoy all the horrific fun.” ―Booklist on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Howard's ear for witty banter and his skill at rendering black comedy bode well for the future.” ―Publishers Weekly on the Johannes Cabal Series
“Fans of the original Lovecraft will have their rewards ... but this series debut from Howard (Nightclubbing, 2015, etc.) shines brightest when keeping to his characters' easy banter and creepy deaths.” ―Kirkus Reviews on Carter & Lovecraft
“This refreshingly original novel updates the eldritch horrors of H.P. Lovecraft for the 21st century.” ―Publishers Weekly on Carter & Lovecraft
“Howard brings the fine writing and attention to detail (character, dialogue, environment) that he developed in the Cabal series to this new book, and his fans should follow him to Rhode Island. Those unfamiliar with the Cabal books, especially readers with a taste for modern-day urban fantasy, should also be pointed in this title’s direction.” ―Booklist on Carter & Lovecraft
“In Carter & Lovecraft, Jonathan L. Howard (the Brothers Cabal series) crafts a creepy mystery in which the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft is more fact than fiction. Carter is an endearing protagonist with a dark sense of humor and distaste for private eye clichés. Emily Lovecraft resents her famous literary roots but becomes a spirited sidekick when her great-great-uncle's creations come to life. Together they make a formidable team and the solid foundation for a new series promised by Carter & Lovecraft's twist ending. Supernatural mystery and thrilling horror offer something to love for genre fans of all stripes.” ―Shelf Awareness on Carter & Lovecraft
"Surely one of the most interesting novels of the year" ―Locus
"Carter & Lovecraft is contemporary, smart, pacey -- and gets you to care." ―Interzone

The heirs of Lovecraft.
By Peter S. Bradley
The heirs of Lovecraft.
So, it seems that Lovecraft was not simply a writer with social anxiety issues; rather, he was writing a secret history of a secret world that his descendant would have to unravel.
Dan Carter is a New York detective who found a serial child killer. The child killer was using the children for research into the true nature of the world. Because Carter's partner immediately killed himself after killing the child murderer, Carter took early retirement and went into the private investigation business. Not long, thereafter, Carter mysteriously finds himself as the owner of a bookstore in Providence, Rhode Island, where Emily Lovecraft - HP's granddaughter - works.
The mystery of the child killer continues to haunt Carter as he is brought into a new set of mysteries, beginning with the murder of a college professor who is improbably drowned in his car while it is parked at the college parking lot. Carter's investigations lead him to an obnoxious mathematician and an inbred community located at Waite's Bill and, ultimately, to a threat to our reality.
The characters of Carter and Lovecraft are well-drawn. Over the course of the book, they develop as a team, each contributing their strength and insights to the resolution of the mystery. Clearly, we have the beginning of a continuing team-up.
The reader ought to suspect that another book is in the works from the conclusion, which seems to suggest that the original world that H.P. Lovecraft knew before he mystically fixed the world into a pattern of science and reason.
This is a thoroughly contemporary book. Emily Lovecraft is African-American, notwithstanding H.P.'s notorious racism. Carter is constantly dropping analogies to films, and there are several obligatory urban elite shots at the NRA. Howard also nicely works in classic Lovecraftian elements, such as the hidden cultists and half-human/half-inhuman mixed breeds.
The book is fun and inventive. The piece that stays with me is the ending where the veil of reality is stripped away so as to suggest that we've all been living an illusion. All in all, this is nice spin-off of the Lovecraft universe.

Challenging, fascinating and fun… I'd say, just do it!
By Janine M. Steiner
I will admit I've been curious about HP Lovecraft but his work always seemed a bit inaccessible to me. JL Howard, on the other hand, has been one of my favorite novelists from page one of Johannes Cabal Necromancer. Howard is highly literate, wickedly smart and inventive and just generally a great writer for anyone who likes good prose and inventive story lines. His new novel, Carter & Lovecraft is both a continuation and extension of those qualities and I found in this book that he is CLEARLY a Lovecraft fan and in fact has referenced those works in The Cabal series. A series I still follow with great enthusiasm, pleasure and joy. The man is just a great author in a time when editing seems to have virtually gone out the window and creative stories which don't follow predictable "guidelines" are usually tossed aside the way Hollywood tosses aside new movies in favor of established "blockbusters" that will generate more predictable box-office earnings.
Carter & Lovecraft is both a detective story/mystery and a voyage through "the mountains of madness" as we follow the central characters while they work to suspend their own disbelief and jump down the rabbit hole in order to solve a series of related murders and deaths which seem, on the surface, to be both impossible and factual at the same time. All the while making discoveries about each other, their respective ancestors and the relationships between all of the above, "deaths" included, and the roles they seem destined to play in all of it… which is not to say there isn't some machinations going on behind the scenes as well.
This is a novel with depth, great characters, a wide variety of discordant elements designed to keep you on your toes and to lead you through the web of information that Howard is so great as parsing out. You don't have to be a Lovecraft fan to read it but if you, like me, know anything about his work at all then this will probably stir you to look a little further into the inspiration for a fabulous book that easily stands tall on its own merits. I'm inclined to think this is the beginning of a new series for Howard and I can't wait to find out more about Daniel Carter and Emily Lovecraft and where they will be going from their "new" here and now.
I'm hoping that this review has been sufficiently vague as to not feel like it spoils anything while also serving as the proper incentive for you to BUY IT RIGHT NOW! ; - ) Howard, as always, is worth every penny.

Great fun for Lovecraft fans and non-fans
By James R.
Great fun. Howard's an excellent writer (his Johannes Cabal series is tremendously well-crafted), and it's clear that he can translate those skills to a new genre. Carter & Lovecraft is something of a blend of hardboiled detective fiction and supernatural mystery, and the combination goes very well together. I think that at least a minimal familiarity with the H.P. Lovecraft mythos is probably helpful here, but I'm anything but an expert, and never felt like I was missing something. Someone who knows it better would probably catch a lot of things that I didn't.
