Book Reviews of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos
Book Review: A Amazing Collection of Weird Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
After buying Gollancz's massive "Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H.P. Lovecraft" with its 878 pages, I started looking for another book of lovecraftian fiction that was more...portable. Thank God I chose this one. Its a great collection of stories by other authors that expand the Cthulhu mythos, and also includes Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Haunter of the Dark", two of his best stories.
The best stories in this book(in my opinion) which I recommend to anyone are:
"The Shambler From the Stars" by Robert Bloch
An author of weird fiction reads from the cursed "Des Vermiis Mysteris" and unleashes a vampiric being from another world.
"Notebook Found in a Deserted House" also by Bloch
The chronicles of a farmboy who is terrorized by an ancient evil in the woods near his home.
"The Salem Horror" by Henry Kuttner
Strange things begin to occur after a writer discovers an underground chamber of a witch hanged in the Salem Witch Trials.
"Sticks" by Karl Edward Wagner
An artist is haunted by memory of mysterious figures made from sticks in the woods and gains the attention of an evil cult.
"Jerusalem's Lot" by Stephen King
Two men explore the deserted village of Jerusalem's Lot and discover that an ancient evil slumbers beneath it.
