I bought this on a whim, as the ebook was on sale and I was interested in reading the story by Neil Gaiman. To my surprise, it ended up being an enthralling series of stories that I could not put down. They were all well-written, with lots of suspense, plot twists, and spooky vibes. Some of the stories have really stuck with me. I'll consider myself lucky if I find another collection this good.

Entertaining collection for fans of Lovecraft with some fairly well known authors like Neil Gaiman and Michael Cabon contributing. A favorite story was Cabon's "the God of Dark Laughter" which gives another take on the creepy clown story.

Even better than the first collection, I think. Not all winners, but a good portion are an excellent mix of Weird/Horror/Lovecraftian.

Still feeling too ill to do proper reviews. Some great stories here, some ok, one or two I disliked, but the Frtiz Leiber story is definitely the TED Klein story of Book One of Book Two.
