"H. P. Lovecraft and his Mythos have seen a resurgence in popularity, but this collection stands out among the crowd. This is an excellent introduction to the Mythos for novices but will also be grabbed up by Lovecraft enthusiasts. All 12 stories are scary and well-crafted with plenty to offer. This volume contains original artwork and a commentary on each deity by Lovecraft scholar Donald Tyson. These essays are particularly compelling as readers encounter them after being immersed in each God's terrifying world. This is a must for all horror collections."-- ALA Booklist Starred Review

Howard, and any of the others who have kept this mythos alive, make some room on your bookshelf. Theanthology collects the twelve principal deities of the LovecraftianMythos, hands them over to some of the world's best writers and standsback. There isn't one name I did not know and many already on my ownbookshelves, so this really is a treat.
