Excellent collection of stories relying, to a greater or lesser extent, on Lovecraft's mythology. I particularly liked James Pratt's "Jonas Bell Presents the King in Yellow", which ties in, obviously, with Robert W. Chambers' "The King in Yellow". Other tales include a man attacked by something inside his own eye ("Floater") and a return to Lovecraft's famous cursed port of Innsmouth ("The Innsmouth Run") A really enjoyable collection.
