Not a sterling collection, by any means, but once again, it's an anthology, so you know right away that you're taking a chance when you get into a book of short stories. Some are great, some are okay, and a couple of them, well, less than what I would have hoped for considering the topic. I do think that if you're a junkie for this stuff as I seem to be, then you don't want to miss this one by any means, but it wouldn't be on the top of my list of best short stories by writers influenced by good old Howard Phillips Lovecraft.
Here are the contents; I enjoyed "Will," "HPL" and "The Barrens" (especially the last one...very very HPL in tone!) the best. I won't give away the show by telling you the plots because it would be a major spoiler.
Contents:
An Open Letter to HP Lovecraft (introduction) by Robert Bloch
A Secret of the Heart by Mort Castle
The Other Man by Ray Garton
Will by Graham Masterton
Big "C" by Brian Lumley
Ugly by Gary Brandner
The Blade and the Claw by Hugh B. Cave
Soul Keeper by Joseph Citro
The Papers of Helmut Hecker by Chet Williamson
Meryphillia by Brian McNaughton
Lord of the Land by Gene Wolfe
HPL by Gahan Wilson
The Order of Things Unknown by Ed Gorman
The Barrens by F. Paul Wilson
Hugh B. Cave is another writer that writes stories to read late at night in the dark and from whom I've come to expect a case of the willies, so I would recommend him as well.
Overall...a fun read that will keep you entertained for a few hours.

A Secret of the Heart, by Mort Castle
A 190 year old man recounts the story of his immortality courtesy of a glyph inscribed upon his heart by an occult doctor.
Dense, flowery 19th century English, inspired by Edgar Allen Poe, I'm told. It was pretty but difficult to stay engaged.
3 stars
--------------------
The Other Man, by Ray Garton
A man in a happy marriage begins to lose his wife. She develops a sudden, intense interest in astral projection, becomes distant, and mutters strange things in her sleep. Confused, fearful for her safety, the protagonist begins to research spiritwalking himself and follows his wife into the unknown.
Sweet hell, that is EVIL. I was gobsmacked. My gob was well and truly smacked.
5 stars
--------------------
Will, by Graham Masterton
A London archaeological dig uncovers a preternaturally well preserved 400yo corpse on the site of Shakespeare's Globe Theater. That night an archaeologist is torn to shreds. The site manager, researching the history of the Theater, uncovers the horrifying truth about Shakespeare's life, death, and historic gift.
Damn, that was satisfying. Masterson weaves history, conspiracy, and horror together perfectly.
5 stars
--------------------
BIG "C", by Brian Lumley
A tiny second Earth moon is discovered, emitting some bizarre radiation that causes changes. A terminally ill astronaut returns from an exploratory mission, his cancer EMERGING and covering the entire state of Florida. A friend of the captive astronaut attempts to destroy the "Big C" with a hand delivered nuke.
Interesting and dark, but not hugely compelling.
3 stars
--------------------
Ugly, by Gary Brandner
An unhappy man with a socially terminal facial disfigurement picks up a magical resin-encased lizard at a swap meet. The next day he discovers that his vicious, sneaky wife is having an affair with his business partner.
A revenge fantasy about a man bonding with a lizard that looks like him.
3 stars
--------------------
The Blade and the Claw, by Hugh B. Cave
A writer moves to Haiti with his vicious, sneaky wife to research his next book. He encounters a voodoo ghost and runs afoul of a politically connected goon. Meanwhile, his wife shows signs of possession by the cats she drowned when they moved in.
Captivating and mysterious. But that's three stories out of six featuring a male protagonist with a truly horrid human being for a wife. Horror writers have ISSUES.
4 stars
--------------------
Soul Keeper, by Joseph A. Citro
A man crashes his car and finds himself held prisoner Misery-fashion by a self-styled prophet of God. The old man starves him and preaches to him to "prepare him for Heaven". One day the old man forgets to lock the door...
Meh. Just not that interesting and the protagonist is a worm. Great ending though.
Also, yet another terrible wife. This one is slow-witted and useless rather than evil, though, giving all of her husband's low income to televangelists.
2.5 stars
--------------------
From the Papers of Helmut Hecker, by Chet Williamson
Journal entries of a notable misanthrope and horror writer. He comes into possession (ahem) of a cat that may or may not contain the spirit of HPL himself and finds himself a conduit for the ravings of the Old Ones.
Great POV writing, fascinating transformation.
5 stars
--------------------
Meryphillia, by Brian McNaughton
A young, sympathetic, cibopathic graveyard ghoul falls for a lovelorn poet and agrees to eat the corpse of his beloved so that he can spend a few moments with her spirit.
Kind of a Shakespearean romantic tragedy. The writing is overly flowery but the concept is solid.
4 stars
--------------------
Lord of the Land, by Gene Wolfe
A collector of Appalachian folklore spends a day with a mountain family recording soul-sucker stories. That evening, something weird happens.
Wonderful confluence of mountain folklore, Egyptian mythology, and science fiction. Spoiler:
5 stars
--------------------
H.P.L, by Gahan Wilson
A Lovecraft fanboy travels to Providence to meet his hero, and I got bored after what felt like 100 pages and skipped the rest. Life is short and I'm trying to control my always-finish-it compulsion.
N/A
--------------------
The Order of Things Unknown, by Edward Gorman
A good, productive citizen, loving husband, and doting father murders women. One every year or two, throughout his adult life. He doesn't want to, and indeed barely remembers having done it, but he can't stop.
I liked the straightforward, no-twist approach to this story. Loved the way in which his life was laid out for the reader, incidentally emphasizing the strangeness of his extra-legal activities.
(And whaddya know, we finally get a good, honest wife character, just a solid human being that we can respect.)
4.5 stars
--------------------
The Barrens, by F. Paul Wilson
Yet another trip to the Pine Barrens by F. Paul Wilson. The Barrens is to Wilson as rural Maine is to Stephen King.
A jovial, obsessive loser hires an old girlfriend to take him through the Pine Barrens, introduce him to the yokels, and help him find a hidden magical nexus.
The otherworldly horror is pretty slapdash, but the guided tour through the Pine Barrens is actually pretty interesting.

Harán unos 15 años que leí este libro por vez primera. Fue de las primeras adquisiciones para mi biblioteca. Debo reconocer que en ese momento no me había leído aún todo Lovecraft, sin embargo tuve la suerte de encontrarlo en una venta de saldos y no pude dejar pasarlo. Recuerdo que me gustó mucho, aunque no voy a mentir: la verdad es que no entendí mucho de lo que estaba pasando. No pude interpretar varias referencias y eso hizo que mi experiencia no fuera tan satisfactoria. Como sea, me dejo grabados en la memoria varios relatos, que de alguna manera me han acompañado desde entonces.
Ahora, a estas alturas de mi vida, pues ya me he leído todo lo de Lovecraft. Encontré un grupo de interesados en él y en su trabajo en mi ciudad y participó de un Círculo de lectura donde analizamos su obra y la de muchos otros maestros del horror. Incluso he tenido oportunidad de participar en alguna conferencia acerca de él, curar algún ciclo de cine en su honor y demás actividades por el estilo. Cada mes seleccionamos algún relato y lo analizamos en la sesión, y dado que acaba de cumplirse el aniversario 126 de su nacimiento, se me ocurrió proponer para la siguiente sesión uno de los relatos que vienen en la antología que me habían gustado más, "H.P.L." de Gahan Wilson, y pues aproveché para darle una nueva leída al volumen completo. Es muy curioso como ahora han cambiado muchas cosas en mi percepción del libro; primeramente, relatos que en su momento me gustaron, ahora no lo han hecho tanto (es normal, como en cualquier antología, no todos los relatos son excelentes), y algunos otros que no me habían gustado tanto ahora resultó que fueron mis preferidos. Lo que sí es cierto es que ahora me resultó mucho más emocionante. Me ha sido posible identificar de donde venía cada referencia y valorar a aquellos que no se atrevieron a hacer un mero pastiche, sino que de verdad indagaron en el espíritu de Lovecraft y crearon un material muy pero muy digno. Debo decir que me emocioné tanto con varios relatos que no pude evitar derramar una que otra lagrimilla de vez en cuando.
Algunos de mis preferidos de aquella primera lectura lo siguen siendo, incluido el "H.P.L." ya mencionado, y se anexaron algunos otros que la primera vez no me resultaron tan satisfactorios, como el genial "El gran C" de Brian Lumley. Hay otros que de plano, no deberían haber tenido cabida en la antología, no por malos, sino porque simple y sencillamente no denotan para nada la influencia de Lovecraft, pero bueno, no todo puede ser miel sobre hojuelas.
Es un libro muy recomendable para los fans de Lovecraft sobre todo, aunque tiene algunas cosas interesantes para cualquier fan del horror literario.

Not an awful collection of stories but not a very good collection to put Lovecraft's name on. It's a mix of Lovecraft Mythos stories but also some random horror stories that not only have nothing to do with Lovecraft but several that seem more inspired by Stephen King than HPL. One of them is a straight up Misery rip-off about a guy who gets in a car accident and is rescued/imprisoned by a crazy person. All the stories end with a blurb by the author talking about how Lovecraft inspired them but often trying to justify why a seemingly unrelated story was put into a Lovecraft collection. Usually it boils down to something along the lines of all horror fiction owing something to Lovecraft. Which is all well and good but then you could just throw his name on any horror collection. The editor should have been stricter in what stories he accepted rather than just letting authors submit whatever stories they had sitting around. One guy admitted he wrote his story with Lovecraft being the furthest from his mind and considered reworking it into a mythos story then was just like, nah.
There are some mythos stories though and even the ones that weren't were sometimes entertaining so I gave it two stars. Not higher because of the inability to live up to the title and the fact that there were some stinkers in there.

Es buen libro a pesar de tener relatos metidos con calzador en los mitos. Pero tengo un bloqueo Lovecraftiano, he leído demasiado de él and company, extremadamente repetitivo su mundo. No da para mucho: locura o primigenios.
Hay dos relatos merecidos de ser resaltados por su calidad: “Los Paramos” y “El señor de la tierra”.

Un verdadero festín lovecraftiano, está antología contiene cuentos verdaderamente fascinantes, algunos siguiendo la tradición de los Mitos, otros con su propia visión, todos sin embargo ofrecen aquello que los fans del solitario de Providence esperamos de un cuento contenido en un libro en cuyo título reza la palabra Lovecraft.
December 11, 2021
Diferentes autores recogen el testigo de H.P.Lovecraft y sus mitos de Cthulhu en este libro de relatos. Aunque más bien intentan trabajar la atmosfera de terror, más que ampliar los mitos lovecraftianos. Distraido.
February 12, 2022
A mixed bag for me that took a while to finish, but there are some really good ones in here! Definitly some authors I will be following up on. To me it seemed like the most successful tales emulated the spirit of the author as opposed to trying to mimic his prose.

Ending with a story by F. Paul Wilson was genius!

Algunos son mejores que otro, hay especialmente uno que me dio escalofríos.

Este libro es una colección de relatos basados en los Mitos y, como tal, podemos diferenciar entre sus autores y calidades los de aquellos que se tomaron a Lovecraft completamente en serio de los que le conocieron jugando al rol y han seguido escribiendo como si todo fuese una partida, en este caso tristemente dirigida para un montón de adolescentes pajeros (no siempre es así). También hay alguno que ha sabido encontrar el justo término medio, pero no es la tónica general de esta recopilación.
Creo que tampoco cabe decir mucho: tentáculos, lunas gibosas, libros encuadernados en piel humana y muchas polisílabas sobreesdrújulas son los ingredientes de un cóctel que sólo satisfará a los más fanáticos y completistas seguidores de los Mitos; si no, una lectura de aquellos es bastante más recomendable que tirarse directamente al cuello de esto, que es irregular y un poco juvenil en algunos casos.
Lo que no puedo dejar de destacar es lo recurrente que resulta en esta recopilación el comparar a los ignominiosos seres de otros tiempos y lugares con el cáncer: dos veces de forma explícita y al menos otra implícita, como si las categorías alegóricas y metafóricas se hubieran agotado repentinamente. Supongo que es un signo de los tiempos.

A patchy collection of short stories by authors influenced by HPL. Gene Wolfe's "Lord of the Land", F. Paul Wilson's "The Barrens", and Brian Lumley's "Big C" are the stand-outs for me. Edited by Robert E. Weinberg and Martin H. Greenberg. Introduction by Robert Bloch.
