Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I could only give it three stars. Too many weak stories to offset the good and mediocre. It becomes difficult for authors once confined to a sub-genre to really excel. There are just too many Cthulhu books out now, it's almost like zombie fare, there just cannot be that many good stories in a sub-genre like this. I'll stick to Laird barron and Caitlin Kiernan. My favorite was actually the Jason Brock story. ( ) I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway Like all compilations, this book was a mix of the good, the mediocre, and the not so great.It's a tough genre, and living and writing in the world of H.P. Lovecraft can be a challenge. Overall, the good stories aren't enough to counter-balance the weaker ones, and the book requires a bit of a feat of strength to finish. If you are a fan of the genre, or of Lovecraft himself, this book is worth a look over if you can find it at your local library. Other reviewers have cataloged the stories by strength, and in general, I find my recommendations for particular stories echoing theirs. no reviews | add a review
