A review by kevin_shepherd
The Lovecraft Compendium by H.P. Lovecraft

5.0

Dagon, The Call of Cthulhu, The Dunwich Horror, The Whisperer in Darkness*, and The Haunter of the Dark. Five representative tales, written between 1917 and 1935. Even a century later they're still ghoulishly unsettling and clever. Lovecraft linked each story with subtle and not-so-subtle references, building a mythos that has withstood the test of time. Even with all the hype and high expectations, I was not disappointed.

*Cthulhu gets all the press but I was most taken with The Whisperer in Darkness. Crab Aliens and brain buckets... Wow.
