Overly reliant on the same limited stable of authors that too many modern Mythos anthologies rely on, and fairly cheaply presented at that. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2022/08/05/cthulhu-mythos-anthologies-are-trash-and-i-hate-them/

A pretty good Cthulhu mythos collection.
There were several good stories about Innsmouth and the deep ones.
I really liked Charles Stross' story about (shudder) UNICORNS.
The final story was particularly shocking.
Only a few stories that were weak and/or that I've read recently.

Like most short story collections it was very hit or miss. About half the stories I absolutely loved and want to read more by the author. Others I couldn't even get through the first 5 pages. Definitely recommend to any fan of Lovecraft or horror books in general! I really enjoyed seeing the various ways Lovecraft inspired different authors in different ways.
