Summary: Core Tales of The Mythos (Although NOT by HPL)
Comment: MOST of the stories in this collection are not by H.P. Lovecraft: only 2 out of 22 are actually HPL's work! Nevertheless, this is a good collection of stories written by other authors who followed HPL in writing about the so-called "Cthulhu Mythos" that Lovecraft created. If you're looking for stories by Lovecraft himself, look elsewhere: there are other collections available composed entirely of his work. But if you want to read stories by the many authors who contributed what are felt by many to be the core of the Myhos, then this is a good beginning for you.

Summary: A very good balance of Cthulhu mythos stories and authors
Comment: The editors of this book obviously made a very pointed effort to pick those stories that are not only tied to the Cthulhu Mythos, but are actually worth reading. The stories by Lovecraft, Derleth and Bloch are the best in the book, and even Stephen King gets a short tale in. There probably should be a couple more Cthulhu Mythos follow-ups to this as there are several good selections that didn't make it into the book.

Summary: Lovecraft's Co-conspirators
Comment: This is a great companion to the other Del Rey editions of H.P. Lovecraft's work. This is a testament to not only other authors creating within Lovecraft's mythology, but personalizing it. Fritz Lieber's Terror From the Depths stands out as an example of this. Primarily interesting are the three correspondence stories between Lovecraft and Robert Bloch (The Shambler From the Stars, The Haunter of the Dark, and The Shadow From the Steeple). Upon finishing this I was more curious of Lovecraft's correspondence with his readers and colleagues.
Cthulhu 2000: A Lovecraftian Anthology and Shadows Over Innsmouth are wonderful companions to this volume.
