The Tales from the Miskatonic University Library eBook Darrell Schweitzer John Ashmead

It was with a sinking feeling of regret that I found myself reading the final story of this collection of beautifully written entries. Unlike in some themed collections of stories, all remained true to the spirit of the basic premise. Several were so good I re-read them on the spot.

I don't want to give away anything about the stories and so am sticking to generalities: well-written, quirky, original, distressing, enthralling, sinister, darkly humorous, these all immediately come to mind as appropriate descriptions. Some left me at the end with that empty feeling of dread I expect from a good Lovecraftian tale, others with a sense of uneasy awe.

The premises and concepts were creative and original, precisely what I hoped for. Definitely worth buying! I'll enjoy re-reading all of them again and more than once.

There were some errors which a good editor ought to have caught: margin hyphenation which moved into inner text, missing or duplicate words and the like, but not to the extent that it spoiled the book for me.

The Tales from the Miskatonic University Library eBook Darrell Schweitzer John Ashmead Reviews

Quite happy with the stories here.
A great collection- best mythos anthology in a while.
Far better than most Lovecraft themed anthologies. Includes a few real gems. Recommended for any fan of HPL.
Stressed the importance of books to the genre.
Short story collection, some better than others.
A great collection of stories in the vein of and extending the mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. Well crafted tales of libraries one may like yo visit but should beware of doing so. Whether you are a die-hard Lovecraft afficianado, or a novice to his universe this book is a fun, rewarding read.
This a great idea for a mythos collection, and the content bears this out. It was a very enjoyable read. James Van Pelt's The Childrens Collection is a gem - with an unexpected twist that will keep thoughts of his story with me for some time. Highly recommended for lovers of Lovecraft's world.
