    There's no female lead, no romantic pairing, and the protagonist grows through character development. You really don't need to worry about any female supporting characters developing romantic feelings for the protagonist; they're all normal people (okay, since it's all Cthulhu-themed, it's not entirely normal).

    These are on my bookshelf because I don't usually read stories with female leads. However, it's been a long time since I read them, so I've forgotten some of the details. Therefore, some of them might have two male leads (just a heads-up), or have a tendency towards two male leads (please be aware if that bothers you).
