Eh, read it in a few years. King doesn't lean heavily on Lovecraft, but references pop up here and there. There's one out-and-out Mythos story in one of his earlier collections. Also I think someone calls Randall Flagg an incarnation of Nyarlathotep at some point? I've read almost all of his books through the early 90s.

I'm maybe halfway into Mass Effect 3 and enjoying it. But man, there's a lot of Internet rage about this one! First a bunch of hatred for one of the writers, then fury at the existence of day one DLC, and now people are fucking pissed about the ending. Can't wait to see it and what the fuss is about and whether I'm equally enraged. Doubtful. The Internet are morons.
