Beautiful

This really is a beautiful little collection that highlights the best features of the weird fiction genre: tales of the sea, dark gods, madness, ghosts, and vampires. Most of the stories work quite well--only a comparative few fail to satisfy. With this collection you are getting works from the golden age of weird fiction, the 20's, 30's and early 40's--Lovecraft, Quinn, Bloch, Smith, Lieber, Derleth. A must have for the pulp collector.

A good anthology of the fiction from "Weird Tales' magazine

Along with the traditional writers in genre (H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, etc.) this anthology has some lesser known short stories and works by authors of the past. Of particularly interest are Gustav Meyrink, Edwardian ghost story author E.F. Benson, and some of the french conti cruel writers like Maurice Level. As with any anthology of this size and scope, some of the stories don't really work--but overall, a nice, well-rounded collection.
