A collection of stories based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. These are, to me, only slightly better than the original Lovecraft stories. Just not a fan of his writings. Not recommended
As much as I enjoyed C.J. Henderson’s “You Can’t Take It With You,” the story alone didn’t manage to justify the entire anthology. And a lot of the rest of this tome is some really dreadful stuff. I like the centerpiece of the set well enough, though it isn’t one of my all-time favorites. Trouble is, we’re treated – and I use the term loosely – to a couple of Machen stories that editor Robert M. Price theorizes served as the at least partial basis for “The Dunwich Horror.” “The Great God Pan” is...
With the exception of one horrible private detective story, this is another fine collection of Lovecraft written and related stories around the topic of the town of Dunwich.
Cools stuff. Especially 'The Tree House' by W.H. Pugmire.
Conociendo mis gustos, mis jugadores del grupo de rol que dirigía en aquella época me regalaron dos libros para mi cumpleaños: El Séptimo Hijo y éste.El ciclo de Dunwich es un compendio de las novelas y relatos que han tenido relación con Dunwich, esa localidad maldita donde Lovecraft sitúa terrores inenarrables.Desde autores antecesores a sus propio creador, que allanaron el camino para que el maestro de los preternatural llegase a escribir la nivela El horror de Dunwich, hasta esa misma novela...
This is another in the chaosium series of rare, obscure and generally out of print Cthulhu Mythos stories and related material, this time focusing around the tale of the Dunwich Horror.The first thing I must say is that this collection has stories which were both influenced by the HP Lovecrafts tale and those which are attributed to influencing him in its writing.As such you have a very varied and at times unexpected mix of stories which I will admit I did find at times hard to read. For a curio...
Todo relacionado con el relato “El horror de Dunwich”, con dos relatos bastantes famosos y luego las secuelas de distintos escritores. Las continuaciones muy flojas, los precursores excelentes.
As for as Lovecraft collections go this one was pretty great. It had the two predecessors to Dunwich - "The Great God Pan" and "The White People" by Arthur Machen before it gets to Dunwich in full. I prefer Lovecraft anthologies which are themed around one story. Some of these date back decades and are pretty famous unto themselves.
This didn't quite do it for me, unfortunately. The W.H. Pugmire one was pretty good (of course) but most of the stories were just hokey and ridiculous. If you want "The Great God Pan" I recommend getting Chaosium's "Three Imposters" Arthur Machen anthology instead.
Admiro la labor que han hecho los seguidores de Lovecraft complementando los múltiples universos que ha creado en su literatura, sin embargo el ritmo heterogéneo de la narrativa de cada autor le quita un poco la cadencia al libro y le quita el misterio a los cuentos de Lovecraft, sobre todo el último en el que reviven al personaje de Wilbur Whateley.
one of the best books in the chaosium series. various writers offering their own sequel stories to hpl's classic tale. several stories are also written by price, his best in the mythos. a good solid collection.
Both an enjoyment and a disappointment. I graded it as 3 out of 5 as some stories were a 4 and some a 2. There were more 2's than 4's so perhaps my grading was overly complimentary.Obviously I enjoyed Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror. I also enjoyed The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen but hated his White People. Very hard to read!August Derleth's work was good and Robert M Price's Wilbur Whately Waiting was excellent.Those were the highlights though. Too often did the other stories lurch into very
While my favorite Chaosium Call of Cthulhu collection remains _The Hastur Cycle_, this volume is extraordinarily good. Price's editorial work and notes are outstanding, the two pre-Lovecraft Arthur Machen pieces are terrific and throw some light onto HPL's inspiration for Dunwich and Wilbur Whately, and the other stories are all of good quality and make solid contributions to the Mythos. I particularly enjoyed C. J. Henderson's Jack Hagee story, and the final piece in the book, Price's "Wilbur W...
