authors, this collection provides such a huge scope of styles and
takes on the mythology that there are sure to be a handful that
surprise and inspire horror in even the most jaded
reader.” —Josh Vogt, Examiner.com
“There are no weak stories here—every single one of the 27 entries
is a potential standout reading experience. The Book of Cthulhu is
nothing short of pure Lovecraftian gold. If fans of H. P.
Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos don’t seek out and read this anthology,
they’re not really fans—it’s that simple.” —Paul Goat Allen,
Explorations: The BN SciFi and Fantasy Blog

professional, semi-professional, and fan venues […] to establish a
sense of continuity and tradition.” —Stefan Dziemianowicz,

looking to start into this universe, The Book of Cthulhu is a
wonderful collection.” —Andrew Keyser, Portland Book Review
“The enduring allure of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, now
nearly a century old, is evident in this representative anthology
of modern tales, most of which were written in the last decade. […]

slavish Lovecraft pastiche, which makes this volume all the more
enjoyable.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

author’s many fans.” —Library Journal
