Dark Corner reviews Ellen Datlow’s newest anthology Lovecraft’s Monsters.

Although, an excellent homage to Lovecraft’s Mythos, the quality of the stories are a little unbalanced. “The Same Deep Waters as You” by Brian Hodge, outshines the other tales, it’s the story of a man recruited by the US military to establish communication with the strange fish-men of Innsmouth. “Red Goat Black Goat” by Nadia Bulkin it is also a great story inspired by the deity Shub-Niggurath, “Lord of the Wood”.

“Lovecraft’s Monsters” is a good and well written book, it features some amazing and creative tales each with a striking illustration by John Coulthart.
