Awesome book In any anthology of stories there are bound to be a few that are not as good as the others. This is the case in this book but overall, the quality of the short stories and writing in this volume was quite good. I would recommend it to any HPL or Mythos fan who hasn't read this one...it's worth the money just for The Great God Pan, The Dunwich Horror, The Shuttered Room & Wilbur Whateley Waiting. OY! What great great stories these are! Contents: 1. The Great God Pan, by Arthur Machen (10/10 stars) -- the inspiration for HPL's The Dunwich Horror 2. The White People, by Arthur Machen -- I skipped this one because I have a 3-volume set of stories by Machen published by Chaosium that I'm reading soon 3. The Dunwich Horror, by HPL -- (10/10 stars) -- probably one of HPL's finest stories ever 4. The Shuttered Room, by August Derleth -- (another 10/10) -- very creepy sequel to the Dunwich Horror 5. The Round Tower, by Robert M. Price -- I skipped this one, because he meant it as an alternative ending to August Derleth's "The Lurker at the Threshold," which sadly, I do not have a copy of anywhere. So once I read the original story, I'll go back to this one. 6. The Devil's Hop Yard, by Richard Lupoff -- well, here was the first story I didn't like; it was way too much of a clone of the original Dunwich horror but silly. 7. The Road to Dunwich, by Ben Indick -- another good story, told from the POV of a man whose son married a distant relative of the Dunwich Whateleys. Very well written; not as scary as some of the others, but still good. 8. The Tree House -- WH Pugmire and Robert M. Price -- I didn't like this one, either; kind of silly. Takes place in the Sesqua Valley, west of Dunwich 9. You Can't Take it With You -- CJ Henderson (10/10 stars) -- CJ Henderson has got to be one of my all-time favorite authors. I love everything he's ever done (even under the Robert Morgan alias) and this story is no exception. Very good story about a young woman caught up in something beyond her control. 10. Wilbur Whateley Waiting -- Robert M. Price -- An excellent ending to this volume in which WW returns and lands himself in NYC, where society has become so bizarre and so jaded (I'm talking about our present) that a strange weirdo like WW fits in rather nicely, no questions asked. Very very nice story and one everyone should read. I'm looking forward to the next of Price's anthologies...they are wonderful! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
