As always, an enjoyable selection of stories, for the most part. Only one of the tales and poems did I actually not care for. S.T. Joshi continues to introduce me to more weird fiction.
Another great lovecraftian horror anthology, more consistently good than the first one and only one or two bad ones. The poetry in the style of lovecraft was very nice too.For the individual stories:Pothunters was an enjoyable read but I did feel like I was missing some context to it.The girl in the attic was a very dreamy and experimental vignette that turned out excellent.The Once and Future Waite was an intriguing twist on the Thing on the Doorstep with a mystery that slotted into place in a

This is honestly the first collection of short stories I have ever read that included poetry written in genre which is pretty cool. I will definitely be reading the previous five volumes and looking forward to future editions. Hopefully, Joshi continues to seek out new expressions to include in future anth...
https://thebookloversboudoir.wordpres...(copy from the publisher and voluntarily reviewed)I’ve read a few of these authors before and some are completely new. I’m a huge fan of H.P Lovecraft. I have a copy of his collected stories I’ve read so many times its dog-eared and almost in pieces. I enjoyed every story in this collection. One of the most enjoyable things is how different the stories are. Some are very close to Lovecraft’s style and subject matter and some are very different. No two stor...
