Wagner's pastiches are highly recommended. A groupread from the Sword & Sorcery group in Goodreads led me to this. In short, the milieu was true to Hyborbian Age as discussed above. Also, it followed Conan's development from buccaneer to potential king well; this would serve as a great prequel to RE...
There are stumbling blocks for every author--we each have our crutches, our weak points, our awkward moments--but what sets a good author apart is that, despite these things, there is always something that carries them through it, some verve or strength that makes up for it.This is especially true f...
Above average anthology from the usually outstanding Datlow (the hardest working editor in horror). Avoids some traps by excluding some of the usual suspects you would expect in an anthology like this (I won't name them) and substituting others who I bet this was their first foray into Lovecraftiana...
Trochę zabawa stylem i pomysłami Roberta Howarda, ale Kane jest o wiele fajniejszy od Conana: niemoralny, nihilistyczny, cyniczny. Plus dość makabryczne (i emocjonujące!) przygody, plus miecz i magia, i to wszystko wcale nie jest źle napisane. Klasyczne fantasy *wzdycha z rozmarzeniem*
Here’s one of those books that uses its title to explicitly tell you what you’re getting - a collection of stories featuring all things squamous, cyclopean and antediluvian: Lovecraft’s Monsters.Filled with a variety of tales that revolve around amphibious people, trans-dimensional head-fuckery and ...
Karl Edward Wagner was many things: originally trained as a psychiatrist (a profession he ended up rejecting), a longtime editor of the influential Year's Best Horror and Fantasy series, a poet, a writer of dark horror, an alcoholic (it eventually killed him), and - perhaps most famously - the autho...
I picked up this little gem in a used bookstore. Campbell picks the stories that scared him as a child and teenager and throws in a few more modern frights. Every story is great. Campbell really put some heart and real thought into this, tracing down the stories that had really made an impression on...
This was an ARC from NetGalley.This anthology is an excellent homage to the monsters of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Solid stories by some of the best authors in the business, past and present, each with a striking illustration make this a must for any fan of the Mythos.
This was an ok read, 2.5 stars from me.I've never been a huge fan of short stories, it takes a lot for them to be really good (in my opinion).Some of these stories were better then others, which I find to be the case in most of these collections. I think the stories range between 1 star and 3 stars....
