A mixed bag

Like most Chaosium books, this collection seems intended more as background material for Chaosium's line of fantasy role-playing games than as a stand-alone collection of short fiction. The quality of the contents varies from accomplished journeyman to fan fiction. The exception would be Kevin A. Ross' "The Music of the Spheres". Enschewing the usual compendium of obscure references and self-consciously purple prose employed by other would-be mythos authors, this story evokes truly Lovecraftian cosmic horror. For me this story is one of the best examples of modern mythos fiction and deserving of a place in one of the canonical Arkham House collections.
