A GOOD BAG OF WEIRDNESS IT IS...

Hello, most of the stories are quite story and deserve to be longer. Really not a bad one in the bunch. Thanks.

"More Lore From the Mythos" is a solid collection of stories, most of which offer a Lovecraftian or at least cosmic horror vision. Some of the standout stories from this group include The Call, The Damned of Eldritch Creek, The Mines of Innswich, Last Orders, The Maze, and Growing Just Beneath. At their best, the stories are evocative and wonderfully dismal. None of the stories was bad, although a few of the others don't quite fit the theme of this volume.

If you catch this collection on sale for a couple of bucks it might be worth the money. These stories are riddled with poor grammar and misspelled words. While there are a couple of stories that stand out as decent explorations of the Mythos, most of them miss the mark for me.
Overall, this collection is unpolished and amateurish.

Being a big Lovecraft fan. I was happy to be involved in this book. I have now finished the book and give it a 4-star rating. Most of the stories are great but I did find a couple confusing. Honest opinion if you are a Lovecraft fan you will love this book.

There's stuff I like about it. Some stories are great. It's a quick read being a pulpy short story collection, but there's just also a lot of average stories and some that are weak. I still like it overall, but there's better Cthulhu Mythos short story anthologies out there.

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.

Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos are highly influential in the horror genre. Its no wonder that so many writers have taking a chance in creating their own stories within that universe. The authors of More Lore for The Mythos took up the challenge and succeeded. You can tell the writers are fans of the horror master.

The book acts as a companion piece to Lovecraft's works, with many of the stories expanding on the Mythos with new ideas, but never going too far from the original source. (Kind of like Ashton Smith & Robert Howard did) A lot of work and care went into the anthology, and luckily it shows. So yes, I think you should pick up a copy or two if you are a fan of Lovecraft!
