DESCRIPTION:
Vulpine from Innsmouth said This isn't your every day Mythos collection. This is a great collection. Take the top Gods and Critters of Lovecraft, take some of the top authors of weird fiction, and see what they come up with. Some of the ideas lookedodd to start with. Rodeo clowns and formless spawn, Deep Ones and science majors, old folks homes and the Great Race of Yith. But each story worked, and worked well. And if you're not familiar with all of the beings/gods/etc, Donald Tyson gives an esoteric thumbnail description. So go forth and read, you know Cthulhu wants you too.. Jill Bemis said Tales to Delight and Terrify. Editor Aaron J. French gathered twelve Mythos tales based on Lovecraft’s bestiary of gods. His experience as book editor for JournalStone Publishing, Editor-in-Chief for Dark Discoveries magazine, and co-editor of The Lovecraft eZine gives French the credentials to be able to select stories for this Lovecraft style horror collection.Commentator, Donald Tyson based his extensive deity explanations on his studies as occult scholar. Tyson, an author in his own right, has written several books on occult philosophy, Necronomicon and magic, including “The Dream World of H.P.

Lovecraft’s universe, or have no more than a passing familiarity. This anthology will have you searching for the Lovecraft originals. Great fun!
