Reviews for The Shadow of Innsmouth

[bcquinnsmom · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

these are 13 of the most bizarre stories you'll ever read; the original "Shadow Over Innsmouth" was very strange but these are even more bizarre. My favorites: The Weird Shadow Over Innsmouth by HPL and John S. Glasby; The Old Ones' Signs, by Pierre Comtois; Fleas of the Dragon by CJ Henderson; Mail Order Bride, by Ann K. Schwader and The Deep End, by Gregory Luce.All of these stories share a common thread that is Innsmouth, site of the Esoteric Order of Dagon and other bizarre occurrences. Most of them are very good; a couple are kind of tongue-in-cheek comedies and a couple of them just didn't do it for me. But, such is the chance that you take when you pick up a story anthology.Overall...recommended if you want to read more about the doomed city of Innsmouth. Be sure you read the original before you start this book!
