For an anthology that perports to be about Cthulhu, there sure was a lack of Cthulhu in this book. Sure, the stories took place within the mythos, but I don't remember many appearances by His Tentacliness himself.

The stories I enjoyed:
Caitlín R. Kiernan – Andromeda among the Stones
W. H. Pugmire – Some Buried Memory
Molly Tanzer – The Infernal History of the Ivybridge Twins
Elizabeth Bear – Shoggoths in Bloom
Cherie Priest – Bad Sushi
John Hornor Jacobs – The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife
Brian McNaughton – The Doom that Came to Innsmouth
Joe R. Lansdale – The Crawling Sky

Too many stories fell flat for me. Most, I found way too hard to get into. It's certainly an impressive lineup of authors, but many of these authors have done better with other stories. Surprised they didn't try to squish Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" or something.

Hopefully one day we will get a truly amazing Cthulhu anthology. This isn't it.
