The stories get progressively better. Most of the episodes re-visit one of H. P. Lovecraft's tales in a new and original way. I enjoyed how the authors smoothly incorporated Lovecraft's titles into the text -- little winks to the true fans. This Enoch Coffin would be an interesting fellow to meet -- on a bright sunny day, and nowhere near a cemetery!

I'll admit, I didn't like this collection in its first few pages, but that quickly changed as I kept reading! Enoch Coffin's desire to capture horrors as art lead him time and again into perils, and while he's the protagonist, he doesn't always come out unscathed. The stories in this book provide a fresh look at the plots of some of HP Lovecraft's most familiar tales, and it's a twisted thrilling ride.

High-end Lovecraft pastiche with occasional forays into an extended cosmology. The differences in diction between the two authors are sometimes noticeable enough to be jarring, and Coffin himself is rather a wish-fulfillment character, but definitely a worthwhile read for the devotee.
