qalminator's review
Note: I'll be getting to this sporadically, as the Tor Lovecraft reread covers its stories. Looks like they've done two so far. I will observe that the first story I read in it made it worth the purchase price of $2.99.
Most recent: Donald by Adrian Tchaikovsky (4 stars, 2 tentacles) - Deep One as environmental activist. Nicely done, but with next to no creep factor if you're already expecting it to be a Deep One.

Pitter Patter by Adam Gauntlett -
Special Needs Child by Keris McDonald -
Irrational Numbers by Adrian Tchaikovsky -
New Build by Adam Gauntlett (4 stars, 4 tentacles) - Better than the original Hounds of Tindalos. It's much creepier for not being so over the top, and it seems much more believable here, where it's not just about the angles.
The Branch Line Repairman by Adrian Tchaikovsky -
Devo Nodenti by Keris McDonald -
Season of Sacrifice and Resurrection by Adrian Tchaikovsky -
Prospero and Caliban by Adam Gauntlett -
Moving Targets by Adrian Tchaikovsky -
The Play's the Thing by Keris McDonald -

Excellent stuff. Best Mythos short story collection I've read. Clear writing and elegant. All three of the authors have produced great works here. A lot of fun trying to work out what was the root before the end.
Many thanks for writing this book, Mr Tchikovsky, Mr Gauntlett, and Ms McDonald.
