If you've ever thought of what the world might be like after R'lyeh rises out of the Pacific and Cthulhu begins his reign on Earth, have I got the book for you!
This is a collection of short stories. That it's a collection of short stories is really the only significant downfall to this book, given the different visions of many of the authors, but the end result is a great mix of pulpy Lovecraftian fun and good old fashioned creepy horror. This probably holds zero value to anyone not into the Cthulhu mythos in general, but in terms of what I was hoping for? This more than delivered.
