An ambitious and wide-ranging anthology of short stories (mostly), comic strips and essays (a few) and even a remarkable piece of prose poetry, this megapack of the Lovecraft ezine is ultimately too long for its own good. Perhaps read as individual volumes (after all, this volume covers eight issues of the magazine) or if a further selection was made for this mega-anthology would actually prevent most of the contributions from becoming a featureless mass of half-baked purple prose and Mythos clichés. Nevertheless, several short stories and almost all the essays are actually remarkable contributions to early 21st century cosmic horror literature: at the very least, they put an interesting twist on decades-old tropes and some are actually written with a hightened literary sensibility that even those who are not fans of the genre would appreciate.
