The Cthulhu Mythos Megapack: 40 Modern and Classic Lovecraftian Stories by Colin Azariah-Kribbs, John Gregory Betancourt

5.0

Excellent collection which you can probably get at a great price. This is an excellent introduction to the Cthulhu myths for the curious but uninitiated, but even a seasoned fan will find much delight in the stories from this massive collection. Contains all of the foundational Lovecraft stories (Call of Cthulhu, Shadow over Innsmouth, At the Mountains of Madness, the Dunwich Horror and many more) along with many stories from the 'Lovecraft circle' contemporaries like Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard and a lot of modern stories as well. I don't think there is a dud in the bunch, though you will enjoy some stories more than others, naturally. Many of my favorites were placed late in the book, so please keep reading, Of course, you could jump around, grouping stories by author, chronologically or however else you choose. Personally, I have read much Lovecraft and some collections of modern tales based in the mythos, but had not encountered stories from his contemporaries, and later authors such as T. E.D. Klein, though I have heard much about them. Imagine my joy at having these all assembled in one mighty tome! I became especially excited to read Robert Howard's tales. My favorite stories in the end included Ghoulmaster, The Doom that came to Innsmouth, the Dark Boatman, and the terrifyingly understated Events at Poroth Farm. Unless you have been scouring the earth for years collecting all of the mythos stories you could find, you are sure to find something new and delicious in this collection of top-notch tales of terror.
