An Excellent intoduction to H. P. Lovecraft

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has never read H. P. Lovecraft. It is also an excellent review for any fan. It still chills my spine!

A perfect start for reading Cthulhu stories

Here is raw horror as only Lovecraft can write it!
As much as I have enjoyed the Cthulhu mythos over my 50 years, I often wondered why Lovecraft never wrote in his stories about science and romance. I have discovered a new full length book all about Cthulhu's evil doings, the Necronomican of Abdul Al-Hazred and the Yog-Sothoth. This book, "The Riddle of Cthulhu", has all the Lovecraftian horror plus science fiction and romance! If after reading "Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos," you want to read a well rounded modern adventure with more of evil Cthulhu; then, this is a perfect next book for you!

del rey's best

i was a little dissapointed because i had so many stories before. HPL great as always, 2 stories here. kuttner's story's kind of good. a well written one by Derleth, but the ending was too far stretched. Howard has a good one, though it doesn't go far enough to be really interesting. King's is great, rats in the wall-like. the most interesting new read for me was Wagner's sticks. i really enjoyed the concept.

Every horror fan should read this book

One of my best friends is a huge Steven King fan. I loaned him this book and he returned it the next day, he said he couldnt read it because it gave him the creeps. I greatly enjoy Lovecrafts writing and stories in the Cthulu Mythos are by far my favorite. Lovecraft and the "Lovecraft circle" of writers blur the lines between the fictional world and the readers real world better than anyone else.
These stories are wonderfully writen and truely entrancing.

Lovecraft's Co-conspirators

This is a great companion to the other Del Rey editions of H.P. Lovecraft's work. This is a testament to not only other authors creating within Lovecraft's mythology, but personalizing it. Fritz Lieber's Terror From the Depths stands out as an example of this. Primarily interesting are the three correspondence stories between Lovecraft and Robert Bloch (The Shambler From the Stars, The Haunter of the Dark, and The Shadow From the Steeple). Upon finishing this I was more curious of Lovecraft's correspondence with his readers and colleagues.
Cthulhu 2000: A Lovecraftian Anthology and Shadows Over Innsmouth are wonderful companions to this volume.
