Great to see people being inspired by the oft-overlooked but always masterful CAS. A wide range of perspectives and types of story though Tsathouggua was always well-represented of course.
I've been sitting on writing this review for a while, because what I've been trying to mentally do is form my thoughts into a quippy blurb that would really -sell- this collection to people who were looking to the reviews to help them decide. I finally realized though, that while I could probably do so - it is a disservice to the authors in the text and to readers for me to try to spin my opinion.

A good collection of new stories based on one of Clark Ashton Smith's "Worlds" - think Conan stuff but more eldritch horror and supernatural. This is a very good collection of stories and a tribute to a long dead and under apppreciated master.
Most of the stories are very good, and couple didn't hit the right chords. For the most part, I think they hit the mark of Clark Ashton Smith's vision of Hyperborea. If you're a fan of CAS, I suggest reading.
3.5 stars, actually. This is one of those books that makes me wish Goodreads gave 1/2 star ratings.
Full disclosure: my short story "The Darkness Below" is in this, but that aside, an anthology of stories based on and set in the dark fantasy world of Clark Ashton Smith is a must have for any fan of the genre. If you like CAS, give this a read. If you never read CAS, still give this a read, it's well worth it.
