Lovecraftian fantasy novel about a teenaged boy who’s terrified of water, and the disappearance of his mother in the coastal town of Dunnsmouth, Massachusetts.
• Macmillan’s site has this description with an excerpt.
• The Publishers Weekly review says, “Gregory delivers an enthralling and exciting tale that should intrigue both readers unfamiliar with Lovecraft and longtime fans of the stories.”
• Gary K. Wolfe reviews it in the March issue of Locus Magazine: “Despite some genuinely scary moments – mostly in the few chapters that shift to Harrison’s mother’s point of view – the generally good-natured tone of the tale, along with wonderful characters like Aunt Sel and the fish-boy Lub, suggest Daniel Pinkwater as much as Lovecraft, and despite the HPL furniture Harrison Squared is in no sense an imitation or pastiche.”
