Add a CommentAn anthology of "Lovecraft" inspired tales intended to be "unique" entries in the Cthulhu Mythos. Unfortunately, the majority of these short stories are not very unique nor very Lovecraftian. The odd pinch of Yog-Sothothery in a story does not a Lovecraftian tale make. Only recommended if you've read everything else the Cthulhu Mythos has to offer.
