A bit uneven, as most anthologies of this kind are, but does contain several gems. The premise is interesting (even if it's been done before), and the selection is nice and varied while not straing too far away from the main theme.
Bonus points for title and cover. Get this if you're a fan of the post-Lovecraft Mythos. Purists will find some things to like too, in all probability, but maybe no enough to make this worthwhile over other new anthologies like, for instance Joshi's Black Wings of Cthulhu.

Your basic anthology of horrors from beyond the stars. A few are quite good, a couple meh, and the majority just fine.
