I don't remember all the stories in the collection very clearly, as it's been my Kindle book of choice for those nights when I feel like reading in bed after I've finished reading NOT in bed for the evening, but the overall impression I have on the book is a good one. Not every story was killer, though that may be a matter of taste, but some were fantastic. My clear favorite was the last, which was a piece by Jeffrey Thomas set in Punktown. Maybe it was a favorite because I already knew I enjoyed his work before reading this, but it was just well done, too. The story about a future cop in a flying mech trying to bring peace back to a city (plus more) was pretty interesting too, I enjoyed it and mechs were the last thing I'd ever expected to see in an anthology of Lovecraftian fiction of any kind, even a futuristic one. Glad I read it, and I'm sure I'll look into a few of the other authors sooner or later, too!
