1.0 out of 5 stars Lovecraft Turns In his Grave, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Del Ray Publishing have made themselves a life long enemy. This, and their other two Lovecraft collections ( Transition and Best of ) are the most poorly conceptualized and poorly edited anthologies currently on the market. I have no doubt Lovecraft would have gravely resented the stigma of "Dreams of Terror and Death" being tacked on to his dream cycle, in which terror and death take a far, far back seat to beauty and idealism. The cover art is puerile and innapropriate and the foreward insults your intelligence. Finally, the whole flow of the book just seemed really awkward and uncomfortable. Rather than explain what I mean by this, I recommend you read "Dagon and Other Macabre Tales", a highly superior anthology put out by the people at Arkham House, in my opinion the only publisher who has done justice to the Lovecraft name. Like "Terror and Death", it also details Lovecrafts dream cycle, but does it in a much more mature and intelligent manner, due to the thoughtful editing of S. T. Joshi, the worlds leading expert on Lovecraft's work. It also has a positively brilliant and very extensive foreword. "Dagon" is the third book of four in Arkham House's collected works of H.P. Lovecraft series. They are hardcover, and hard to come by, but can be found at amazon for a decent price. (The others are: Dunwich Horror & Others, Mountains Of Madness & Other Novels, & The Horror In the Museum.) Unlike Del Ray, who seem to be attempting to appeal towards adolescents, or fans of schlock horror with their anthology, the Arkham House books are most undoubtably directed towards grownups and readers with more discerning tastes. It's sad to see Lovecraft misrepresented by those who can't comprehend the true nature and value of his work, and who appreciate him for all the wrong reasons. I would rather have Lovecraft go unread than see someone be introduced to him through Del Ray's anthology.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT AS ALWAYS!, 15 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Lovecraft does it one more time, I guess. Being a great fan of his, I feel this is a masterpiece. The stuff dreams are made of, I should call it. Or maybe nightmares, huh? Great work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Vision Unparalleled, 7 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Of the 3 DelRey books (Best of, Dream Cycle, and Transition) this one is the best one. A truly frightening vision of a world in dreaming - the only created world that compares is Tolkien's. Whoever edited these stories together is a genius - don't read any of the stories out of sequence. The cumulative effect is like reading a strange novel into Lovecraft's mind. Terrific.
