review 1: If you like cheesy horror movies, this is the novel for you. Two strangers arrive in a small town more or less at the same time, and between them they turn it completely upside down. One worships Lovecraftian gods like Cthulu, while the other has spent his life fighting against them. As the Bad Guy's influence grows, the temperature rises and the townspeople get violent all over the place. If you like senseless gore - sometimes humorous, sometimes just disturbing - well, this book certainly has plenty of it. The plot itself doesn't go anywhere new, and the love interest bit feels completely forced, but all in all it's a decent little horror tale.
review 2: The Burning Time is set in the tradition of the classic Cthulhu mythos. If you are familiar with Love... morecraft and the ancient gods then you'll want to add this one to the list. It pays wonderful homage to the original tales. My only critique is that there's a place in middle where Faherty turns the pacing into sludge. It muddles for quite awhile until it picks up the pace just short of the end. With this in mind, I'd say if you haven't learned to quake at the name of Cthulhu and salivate at the chance to be destroyed last then skip this one a begin with the master - Lovecraft! less
