Book Reviews of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos
Book Review: Core Tales of The Mythos (Although NOT by HPL)
Summary: 5 Stars
MOST of the stories in this collection are not by H.P. Lovecraft: only 2 out of 22 are actually HPL's work! Nevertheless, this is a good collection of stories written by other authors who followed HPL in writing about the so-called "Cthulhu Mythos" that Lovecraft created. If you're looking for stories by Lovecraft himself, look elsewhere: there are other collections available composed entirely of his work. But if you want to read stories by the many authors who contributed what are felt by many to be the core of the Myhos, then this is a good beginning for you.Book Review: Every horror fan should read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my best friends is a huge Steven King fan. I loaned him this book and he returned it the next day, he said he couldnt read it because it gave him the creeps. I greatly enjoy Lovecrafts writing and stories in the Cthulu Mythos are by far my favorite. Lovecraft and the "Lovecraft circle" of writers blur the lines between the fictional world and the readers real world better than anyone else. These stories are wonderfully writen and truely entrancing.
Book Review: Dark Tales from the Masters
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book during a depressed period of my life, and I must say the world it created in my head helped me get through that period more smoothly. I think, August Derleth's stories easily fill "the gap created by the lack of enough Lovecraft stories" mentioned by other readers. I totally enjoyed this compilation, and I stronglyrecommend it for the fans of the Cthulhu Mythos.Book Review: good read
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of the classic fantasy/horror based upon times when science just began to mix with day to day life, then this is a good choice for you. Lovecraft does a great job making you think a little as well if that is something that you enjoy. Other writters that I would liken him to include: Howard and E. R. B.Book Review: Cthulhu has risen...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have only read the Call of Cthulhu but it is an awesome story. It is creepy and cool at the same time. It is about a guy who finds out about Cthulhu and the Ancient Ones, and he is telling the story of how he found out. At the end he says that the Cthulhu Cult will kill him. Read it. It is awesome.
