Richard A. Lupoff, "There Are Kings".
The magus Abraham ben Zaccheus and his sidekick John O'Leary sets off to dispose of a statuette of Cthulhu. No particular connection to "The Call of Cthulhu" beyond the presence of the statuette. Didn't like this much.
Darrell Schweitzer, "Envy, the Gardens of Ynath, and the Sin of Cain" ("The Whisperer in Darkness").
The narrator tells of how he came to "the old Akeley house" and how he hopes to leave Earth behind with the Outer Ones. The highlight of the collection to my mind.
Will Murray, "The Arcade"
A romantic ghost story, which is more Lovecraftian than what that sounds. I liked it.
Adrian Cole, "The Chaos Blade"
A pulp-style tale of a strange Egyptian tomb and what was found within it. Not very good.
Will Murray, "Evacuation Day" ("The Shadow Over Innsmouth")
A man ends up in Innsmouth about a decade after the federal raid, and discovers that evil still lurks there. It's okay I guess.
Pete Rawlik, "The Statement of Frank Elwood" ("Dreams in the Witch House")
Provides a backstory to Keziah Mason. Seemed sort of pointless.
K. M. Tonso, "The Testament of Alexander Fletcher" ("The Shadow Out of Time")
About a contemporary of Peaslee who is likewise mind-swapped by the Yithians, and, unlike Peaslee, sets off on a quest for revenge at any cost. Fairly good.
Ron Shiflet, "The Serpent of Tenoka" ("The Curse of Yig")
The narrator inherits a Texan cabin and with it a feud with the Father of Serpents. Liked it.
Pete Rawlik, "The Journal of Thomas Gedney" ("At the Mountains of Madness")
Tells the story of Gedney, the disappeared student from AtMoM. Adds nothing particularly interesting, and unnecessarily contradicts a few details from AtMoM. Actually, the most interesting thing about it is perhaps that Rawlik mixes modern radiological dates (that Gedney could not have known) for various geological events with the pre-radiological ones that Lovecraft used.
Gary Myers, "The Tower of Mormoroth"
A Clark Ashton Smith pastiche, telling of an adventure of Eibon's, it's anyone's guess how this fits with the supposed theme of the collection, but it's a pretty good story.
Rafe McGregor, "The Signal House"
A convalescent idly delves into the history of the Roman signal-house at Scarborough, and finds an ancient horror at the bottom of it. Half-way in I was thinking this was among the best in the collection but the ending is weak.
