William Meikle's inquisitor tries to unravel the truth during a very hostile questioning. Jesse Bullington narrates the saga of a young Viking woman facing danger and show more destruction. E. Catherine Tobler stops in Ancient Egypt, where Pharaoh Hatshepsut receives an exquisite and deadly gift. Albert Tucher discovers that the dead do not remain silent in 10th century Rome.

This is a spectaular mix of historical fiction and Lovecraft lore. If you're Lovecraft fan, you won't be disappointed. I found the pieces set in ancient history the most appealing, but the tales span a broad range of time and many unique takes on Lovecraft's mythology. A must read for Lovecraft fans.
