3.0
Huge volume of short stories of the Cthulhu mythos.
The first couple of stories are great, but things quickly go downhill from there. Some retread familiar ground. "Ooo, Deep Ones... again." Some have an unsatisfying structure, ending suddenly and with arcs unresolved. But there are a few gems, and as noted, it's a huge tome. When one tale bores, one can just skip to the next.
