I really enjoyed his one. A collection of fiction mostly centred on Lovecraft's Richard Upton Pickman, one of his most interesting characters in my opinion. The stories encompass settings from the time of "Pickman's Model" to futuristic sci-fi, but they’re all good. The real standout here for me was Victoria Dalpe's "A Creak in the Floor", set in our times. That one had a great atmosphere which beautifully captured a sense of urban decay.

Incredible!!!

This is absolutely the best collection of short stories from the Lovecraftian mythos that I have ever come across, and I have read LOTS of them. The idea behind the tales, to use Pickman as a launch point, was simply genius! If I had 100 books of this quality, it would not be enough! MORE PLEASE!!!!!
