Horror anthologies are a lot like trick or treating. You get a few gems, say a full sized Hershey bar. A lot of nice but sub-par filler, like Smarties and Nerds. And a whole pile of tastless dreck, like candy corn or worse, the cheap jerks who still give out pennies.
Black Wings of Cthulhu, is nothing like that at all. It is a superb collection of 21 chilling tales inspired by the work of HP Lovecraft. With not one piece of filler within.
Much like the Necronomicon chomping down on Bruce Campbell in Army Of Darkness, I found the book impossible to put down until I devoured every last eldritch bit!
The contributing authors list is a veritable who's who of the modern Cthulhu Mythos. With editor S.T. Joshi, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Brian Stableford, Ramsey Campbell, W.H. Pugmire, Michael Shea, Darrell Schweitzer, Donald R. Burleson, David J. Schow and others have collectively brought together a collection of Lovecraftian tales that is the perfect addition to any horror fans library, be they a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos or not.
A flawless 10 out of 10!
