[Nathan Shumate · Rating 2 out of 5]

I've grown to recognize that sink feeling when I dread starting on the next story in an anthology, fearing that it will be no better (or even worse) than the one I just finished. I finally skipped ahead to only those "known quantity" writers... and even they were disappointing. (When T.E.D. Klein's story is underwhelming, you know that a Black Swan Event is happening right before your eyes.)

Add to that typographical oddities, straight quotes mixed with curly quotes, widows and orphans...

This looks like a book-like fan-fiction publication. I've read a couple of stories in it by now, and while some are rather unpolished it looks promising.

A Month or Two Later:

I still haven't read all the stories, but it does indeed appear to be uneven and, well, unpolished. And a couple of the stories I know from other publications (also published earlier).

Still, a fairly good collection. A curious must-have for any Lovecraftian;-)

[This is a First Edition, btw. With all the quirky typos:-D)
