Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Searchers after Lovecraftian horror need look no further than Acolytes of Cthulhu, edited by Robert M. Price. This reprint anthology features 28 tales by mostly minor disciples, though there are a couple of big names (Borges, Neil Gaiman), plus a rare youthful offering from leading HPL scholar S.T. Joshi. The prolific Price provides his usual entertaining and erudite introduction, while the Gahan Wilson jacket is a delight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loaded with action and highly recommended Aug 9 2001
By Midwest Book Review
Format:Hardcover
This anthology is a recommended pick for any Lovecraft fan: it presents over twenty stories inspired by the Lovecraft tradition, blending occult and supernatural atmospheres with the monsters of horror Lovecraft has perfected. Top-name authors and unknowns are paired together, with stories gleaned from scare fanzines and failing pulps. Acolytes Of Cthulhu is loaded with action and highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellant cthulhu mythos collection July 27 2001
By sfc567
Format:Hardcover
This is an unusually good collection of cthulhu mythos stories. They include both mythos stories and some non mythos stories with a mythos feel.While there are one or two clunkers the quality is generally excellant. Also these are not the usual reprints but are either rarely or never reprinted stories.Of particular note to me was BLACK NOON by C M EDDY which gave a glimpse into the life of H P LOVECRAFT whom the author knew. If you are a fan of lovecraft and the cthulhu mythos by all means try this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blasphemy! Aug 17 2010
By The Judge - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Unfortunately, I can't comment on the quality of the stories in this anthology, since I couldn't even get through the introduction. I'll admit I'm not a fan of Robert M. Price to begin with, but the things he wrote in this introduction can only be describe as blasphemous, and I use that in the traditional religious context. Therefore, if you are a Christian and a fan of Lovecraftian fiction, I would recommend avoiding this book.
