Move Underground by Nick Mamatas. This is awesome. The most effective "mashup", if you could call it that. Jack Kerouac and the Cthulhu Mythos. Well written and captures the apocalyptic hope you find in the best beat literature.

It's an amazing book. I wish I could say I liked the rest of Chabon's body of work as much.

Ive never seen a good adaptation of Lovecrafts stories. It would probably be because he didnt write dialouge. His stories were mostly narratives. It would be hard to make a movie from narration alone.

274 stories! Cool. Sounds like ten books in one. Story I'm reading now is by Henry James, the first of his I've read since "The Turn Of The Screw" which I read back in high school in the early 70s. Didn't appreciate him all the much then but I'm really enjoying him now.
