Lovecraft is Missing has a new review of Lovecraft Unbound (2009), an anthology of 20 Lovecraft-inspired stories. Judging from this, and a detailed Amazon breakdown of the contents, Marc Laidlaw’s “Leng” and Michael Chabon’s “In the Black Mill” sound like the stories I’d buy it for. The book can currently be picked up in used condition for $4 on Amazon U.S., including shipping. It’s not available for the Kindle.

Hey, I’m an avid reader, and obsessed with anything Lovecraft. The only problem is, there’s a lot of lesser quality pastiche, which can be fun sometimes but in the end it’s forgettable and not really worth the time.
THIS book, however, is not like that at all. It’s a BRILLIANT collection, and I’d recommend it for more than just those two stories. Datlow is a first-class editor, and her choices never disappoint me, and this book is no exception. The stories are all Lovecraftian without strictly being Mythos. It is DEFINITELY worth the cover price even.
