Pretty good - By: Andrew Lessnoff, 28 Sep 2008
I bought this recently, having never read (but often heard about) Lovecraft & the Cthulhu Mythos.

I'm only about a third of the way through, but it seems pretty good (although the author does seem to have swallowed a thesaurus - & a particularly gibbous & over-nourished one at that, most likely recovered from some Stygian Pit that the mortal mind was not meant to know of). Plus, he does have some rather - ahem - "old fashioned" attitudes to race & class that can seem rather jarring to a modern reader.

This particular edition also does, unfortunately, have a number of typosin the text, some of which ("Necroriomicon", "clay" instead of "day", & "Gthulhu") suggest to me that the publishers had the original text scanned & digitised, but imperfectly. (I'm keeping a note of them as I find them, & will inform the publishers when I've finished the book).

Still, all said, I don't regret getting the book, & if you don't mind those faults, I'd certainly recommend this to anyone interestedin the genera.

Just as I remembered!! - By: J. A. Price, 14 Sep 2008
Excellent, worth the wait!! I remember reading this as a child, it's just as good as I remembered. Real Classic stuff!!

I recommend it to anyone looking for some good old creepy stories.

Beautifully produced edition, but -2 stars for horrible tacky price sticker on the back - By: Simon S, 28 Jun 2008
Finally a beautifully produced & complete edition of H.P. Lovecraft's works, but whoever at Gollancz/Orion decided to spoil each book with a tacky price sticker - not even put on straight - that leaves a sticky residue when removed (and believe me, it's tenacious) should be punished by the elder gods, or at least someone senior at the publishers.
