What a collection! This eZine was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say I am very impressed. I've been a long time fan of HP Lovecraft, but used to avoid anything along the Mythos lines because I was always disappointed by pale imitations of the master of horror. The writers herein do not attempt to write like HPL, but they employ his wonderful use of the terror of the unknown, and losing one's sanity.
I'd say I enjoyed over 80% of the 500+ pages of stories. I bookmarked almost all of the authors for further reading. The only ones I didn't care for were either poetry (I don't get it) or ones with stilted or odd grammar/punctuation. But that is just personal preference, and wouldn't even say they were bad!
If you love HPL, or just horror, I highly recommend the megapack. It was cheap on Amazon Kindle, and there are over 500 pages of stories. You can buy individual issues too, but the megapack is much cheaper overall.

Amazing pack of magazines with Lovecraftian base and influence. And also an impressive run of issues.

Overall I was blown away by a vast majority of stories, some of them were truly fantastic and, in the same time, only a handfull of them weren`t in my zone of interest or I didn`t like them.

From what I saw on Amazon the Magazine has a classic format with news articles and stories, but here we have listed only the stories.

Also from the Internet and from the evolution of the story I could say that each of them had a thematic approach, the stories of each of the issues being in the same range of interes as the main subject proposed.

If I were to make a comparison with a thematic Anthology I could say that this effort truly succeeds in their goals and felt to be more carefully selected and edited than a periodic collection of texts.

Not only for the Lovecraftian fans, but also for the horror aficionados this Magazine deserves to be a must read.

I stumbled onto the Lovecraft eZine and its community of wonderful, wacky and insightful people by way of the New England Horror Writers' Association, and this collection of their first year of publication is a reflection of the talent and cleverness of the folks whom editor Mike Davis brought together. There's a wide range of tales, from W.H. Pugmire's decadent glosses and inversions of the work of the Gent from Providence, to new and strange angles on the many non-Euclidian facets of the Mythos by up and coming authors.

A total steal. 9 issues worth of great stories. Even though the eZine was just getting started back then, it's impressive work.

Found what I was looking for. Good stories in a magazine that will never run out of stories.

[Todd · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic collection to Lovecrafitan stories. Hightlights for me included multiple Pugmire and Pulver stories, and the story Cockroaches. A huge collection of content - too much to go through in detail. Just go to www.lovecraftezine.com and revel in the dark splendor!

Excellent collection of Lovecraftian fiction. Some minor formatting issues in the version I have are worthy of complaint.
