Review

"French's concept--12 stories, each focusing on a different horrific god--is an original one..."-- Publisher's Weekly

"H. P. Lovecraft and his Mythos have seen a resurgence in popularity, but this collection stands out among the crowd. This is an excellent introduction to the Mythos for novices but will also be grabbed up by Lovecraft enthusiasts. All 12 stories are scary and well-crafted with plenty to offer. This volume contains original artwork and a commentary on each deity by Lovecraft scholar Donald Tyson. These essays are particularly compelling as readers encounter them after being immersed in each God's terrifying world. This is a must for all horror collections."-- ALA Booklist Starred Review

"THE GODS OF H. P. LOVECRAFT is a dream of an anthology. For anyone wholoves Lovecraft, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, and any of the others who have kept this mythos alive, make some room on your bookshelf. Theanthology collects the twelve principal deities of the LovecraftianMythos, hands them over to some of the world's best writers and standsback. There isn't one name I did not know and many already on my ownbookshelves, so this really is a treat. As if that wasn't enough we also get some great artwork and individual commentary on each of the deities by Donald Tyson."--Derek Gunn, The Big Thrill (ITW)
