Query: League of extraordinarily bad fiction writing

H.P. Lovecraft, Conan Doyle, Alistair Crowley, and Houdini walk into a plot... The punch line to that statement is either going to be surprisingly clever or lame. In the case of the Arcanum... lame. I must admit that I read through only half of the book before putting it down. In fact, I banished it from my bookshelf. It's not that the writing style is bad, but the plot gets ridiculous with no hope of redeeming itself (unless the ending was that Lovecraft ate some bad oysters and it was all a dream fragment).I suppose you can sum up the book as "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets a Sunday afternoon Call of Cthulhu role-playing game scenario put on by eight graders."
