This is a really solid collection of Lovecraftian or Lovecraft-inspired stories, assembled by the editors of the Mad Scientist Journal e-zine. For me it gets off to bit of a rocky start, with a couple tales that suffer from a flaw common to a lot of so-so horror fiction; describing the flaw would constitute spoilers, so I'll refrain. Then again, it could be just me that is bothered by this particular narrative choice.
However, many of the later stories are excellent. The ones that stick out in my memory include "The Laughing Book" by Cliff Winnig, "In Defense of Professor Falcrovet" by Darin M. Bush, and "The Ghost Circus" by Phillip C. Gonzales. And the final tale in the collection, "Come Down, Ma Evenin' Star" by Sanford Allen, is a masterwork! Seamlessly blending far-future science fiction with magnificent, eldritch horror, all by itself it is worth the price of admission.
In short, I'm extremely happy that the MSJ editors put together this printed volume, and I'm looking forward to supporting the Kickstarter for their next volume.… (mehr)
