The year is nineteen-sixty-something, and after endless millennia of watery sleep, the stars are finally right. Old R'lyeh rises out of the Pacific, ready to cast its damned shadow over the primitive human world. The first to see its peaks: an alcoholic, paranoid, and frightened Jack Kerouac, who had been drinking off a nervous breakdown up in Big Sur. Now Jack must get back on the road to find Neal Cassady, the holy fool whose rambling letters hint of a world brought to its knees in worship of the Elder God Cthulhu.

Having been a fan in my younger days of many of the beats portrayed in MOVE UNDER GROUND as characters in a fictional setting, I was at first a bit critical of this concept working around this Lovecraftian mythos. I was quite surprised by the way Mamatas has handled this. The overall mood feels full of dispair and eventually dread as the "old one" invades the world and the mutations start to occur. I particularly enjoyed the casting of Cassidy and Kerouac(as well as Bill Burroughs to what could have been a bigger part) as the reluctant heros. My only negative is like Lovecraft, in this day and age, it does tend to move slowly in spots but this works within the sense of smothering doom. Definitely worth a read.
