Narratologists, among whose eager acolytes I count myself, make a couple of distinctions which I think will aid us in understanding a nagging hint of fundamental wrongness in the narration of "The Shadow over Innsmouth." | |

| Book description |
Innsmouth is a half-deserted, seedy little town on the North Shore of Massachusetts. It is rarely included on any map of the state. Folks in neighboring towns shun those who come from Innsmouth, and murmur about what goes on there. They try not to mention the place in public, for Innsmouth has ways of quelling gossip, and of taking revenge on troublemakers.
Here are ten new tales and three reprints concerning the town, the hybrids who live there, the strange city rumored nearby under the sea, and those who nightly lurch and shamble down the fog-bound streets of Innsmouth. | |

My favorites: The Weird Shadow Over Innsmouth by HPL and John S. Glasby; The Old Ones' Signs, by Pierre Comtois; Fleas of the Dragon by CJ Henderson; Mail Order Bride, by Ann K. Schwader and The Deep End, by Gregory Luce.
All of these stories share a common thread that is Innsmouth, site of the Esoteric Order of Dagon and other bizarre occurrences. Most of them are very good; a couple are kind of tongue-in-cheek comedies and a couple of them just didn't do it for me. But, such is the chance that you take when you pick up a story anthology.
Overall...recommended if you want to read more about the doomed city of Innsmouth. Be sure you read the original before you start this book! (
