Book Reviews of Tales Out of Innsmouth (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)
Book Review: Tentacled Terrors
Summary: 4 Stars
Ah, the Old Ones! I've been a fan of Lovecraft fiction for years, and was pleasantly surprised by this eclectic collection, because, usually, there isn't much new in this sub-genre.
But everything old is new again in this offering from series editor Robert M. Price. Every story had just enough of a unique twist to make even the weakest of the bunch (which I won't name) seem fresh. I will name my favorite piece, which was "Mail Order Bride" by Ann K. Schwader.
So, why 4 stars and not 5? One reason. The PRINT/FONT size is so tiny, I started to get blurry and feel like I was reading underwater. (Maybe that was the point?) That small complaint aside, I enjoyed this anthology. Get out your magnifying glass, and I think you will, too.
Summary of Tales Out of Innsmouth (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)
Innsmouth is a half-deserted, seedy little town on the North Shore of Massachusetts. It is rarely included on any map of the state. Folks in neighboring towns shun those who come from Innsmouth, and murmur about what goes on there. They try not to mention the place in public, for Innsmouth has ways of quelling gossip, and of taking revenge on troublemakers. Here are ten new tales and three reprints concerning the town, the hybrids who live there, the strange city rumored to exist nearby under the sea, and those who nightly lurch and shamble down the fog-bound streets of Innsmouth.Lovecraft, H. P. Books
