Demiurge: The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales of Michael Shea by Michael Shea, S.T. Joshi

jayrothermel's review

5.0

Shea's Bay Area Cthulhu stories have several strengths: mastery of language, scene-building, and high skill with prose.  Most neo-Cthulhu stories coming out today never rise above the level of fan fiction, but Shea is a stylist first, and the braiding of his Bay Area world with that of the Old Ones is at a very high aesthetic level.  No occult detectives, no scholars seeking after the outre, no armed vigilantes or private dicks, just working people and people too old to work who find a fierce desire within themselves to defend their community when the shadows gather.
