The Esoteric Order of Dagon: And Other Tales in the Tradition of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, Set in the Great American Southwest

As with most “secret societies,” the Esoteric Order of Dagon is actually pretty dull.

I don’t see that as the non-Euclidean geometry typical of the architecture of the Great Old Ones. Not real out of space, out of time, like the cyclopean buildings of R’Leyh that rose and sank near Point Nemo in Mar 1925

Maybe it’s about the little known Great Old One: “Snorza’lep” or his offspring “Boresaloth”.

Do people really not see how counterproductive marketing deception can be? Comparing oneself to Lovecraft in the subtitle and the obviously fake reviews for a poorly written, formatted, and presented book only serve to undermine their credibility.

Exactly! It’s that sort of rubbish that gives other e-books/authors a bad name. I refuse to buy reviews therefore I’m at the bottom of the heap, grr. Wish Amazon, etc. would crack down on that practice. Easier said than done, I know.

Wow, you aren’t kidding about obviously fake reviews. Not only are they fake, they’re the most boring fake reviews I’ve ever seen. Ugh.

Why would anyone want to buy a very fanatic story?

I fear that if I stare at this too long, I might be driven mad. Yawn. Guess not.

Maybe the Esoteric Order of Dagon could consult with the Rotary Club or the Knights of Columbus on how to spice things up a bit. I can’t help feel that a non-Euclidean bingo night would make life more exciting for our cultists.

Heck, they could even talk to the “Belluminati” from the Taco Bell commercials. I feel like a Wednesday Night Burrito Buffet would be good for membership.

Is it bad that I’ve gone in and marked all those reviews as not helpful?

No, but it’s stating the obvious

Reviews that are so clearly fake like that must be marked as Unhelpful, to discourage further fake reviews.
Although in an ironic way, the bad fake reviews do warn us that the author is desperate to get sales, the book is that bad.

They further demonstrate how little effort the author is willing to apply.
