Miskatonic Nightmares

by H. David Blalock (Editor), Ethan Nahté (Contributor), Emma Tonkin (Contributor)

There are those who chant the eldritch songs, who wait at the angled gates, who gather in blasted, nameless places to celebrate the return of the great Old Ones. For centuries, for millennia, their tales have not been told. Within these haunted pages you will find their stories of yearning, terror, murder, and a faith that defies the commonplace understanding of humanity. Come and see what really goes on at night at Miskatonic University.

Impressive collection of stories that take place in or around Miskatonic University. There is a healthy diversity of ideas here, one more impressive than the other!
Also the writing was very engaging & charming!
This is how you do a great horror Anthology!

[Cianna Sunshine & Mountains Book Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great collection of stories! I really enjoyed Miskatonic Dreams, but I think Nightmares was even better. Each story really built upon the others. There were a few stories that were not as interesting to me, which is why I only am rating this at 4 stars but I do think that the concept of pulling together many different authors, all who have a love of Lovecraftian literature. If you haven’t even read any books on this style, give this collection a try. It’s got a variety of stories, and one of them will be sure to catch your attention. Stories have great characters, dark plots, and some great horror elements. I enjoy these collections and hope there are more to come in the future.
