2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocrity of Cthulhu..., 24 April 2007

By	dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This collection features 6 short stories by August Derleth set in H.P. Lovecraft's 'Cthulhu Mythos' but is sadly a poor collection. Aside from his attempt to re-organise the Mythos in an elemental format (which has absolutely no effect on these tales whatsoever) Derleth brings absolutely no new ideas forward here, being content merely to ape Lovecraft's locations, style and concepts in a workmanlike fashion. Despite only featuring six stories there is a shocking amount of repetition here, with almost all of the tales being a slight variation on the same formula - lead character inherits spooky property from mad/deceased/vanished relative; is shunned/warned off by the locals; hears strange sounds of chanting in the cellar; finds Necronomicon to provide Cthulhu Mythos infodump; the monster emerges and the character dies/dissapears/goes mad - this is a very predictable book. The only bright spot here is the tale 'Something in Wood' which does boast an effectively disturbing climax, but apart from that this is derivative hackwork for Cthulhu completists onlu.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lovecraft is THE Cthulhu writer, others fall short of him., 7 Jan 1998

By A Customer

This is a really good book. All the stories are terrific. However, remember, Derleth is only a substitue for his master, H.P. Lovecraft.
