5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to the last drop!, Mar 2 2000
By A Customer
Even though these stories were not written by H.P. Lovecraft. They are definitely worth reading. Pure fright and fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant (?) Surprise, April 10 1997
By A Customer
I came to the anthology Miskatonic University with the expectation of finding some bad pastiche. What I found instead were some interesting stories that brought a fresh approach to Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Mort Castle's story, "Teachers," was a moving tribute to the late Robert Bloch. "Her Misbeggon Son" by Alan Rodgers was the more interesting of the two sequels to Lovecraft's "Dreams in the Witch House" and an interesting take on Mythos fatalism. "The Smile of a Mime" was a horrific portrait of just what sort of students might want to attend Miskatonic. All in all, a well-above-average effort for people following in Lovecraft's footsteps

2.0 out of 5 stars Some stories OK, but not really Lovecraftian, Mar 15 1997
By A Customer

This collection is an original anthology, in which a bunch of authors write stories specifically for the collection with a central theme in common. As often happens in such collections, the writing quality is uneven, and the "common theme" elements often seem like they've just been thrown in. This one is actually better than what I've come to expect from original anthologies, though.

Writing stories based on H.P. Lovecraft's work is a perilous endeavor because HPL fans can be pretty demanding. If you go to www.dejanews.com and search for miskatonic anthology, you can find some discussion in the alt.horror.cthulhu newsgroup about why people did or didn't like the stories in this collection
