The Book of Cthulhu

review 1: A fantastic collection of Lovecraft-inspired Cthulhu mythos tales, running the gamut from cheeky and sly to in-your-face terrifying. While most of the entries are solid, highlights include Caitlin R. Kiernan's "Andromeda Among the Stones", Charles Stross's "A Colder War" and Molly Tanzer's "The Infernal History of the Ivybridge Twins." If you're looking for proof that the trops Lovecraft offered in his own fiction are endlessly adaptable and still imaginatively viable, look no further than this fabulous anthology.
review 2: A decent anthology, with some good stories, and some that were not so great. No story really stood out as absolutely mindblowing, but there were some good ones, and only two or three that made me skim them. They all shared the criteria tha... moret they made me freaking uncomfortable reading them, the insanity lurking just below the surface. That said, it made me want to read some more Lovecraft instead of going for another Cthulhu compilation. less
