Reception[]
In a review in Vol 8, Issue 2 of Lovecraftiana, editor Gavin Chappell praises the book, stating that "[t]he anthology as a whole is well textured, with running themes at some points, while at others introducing stories that come as a complete surprise" and that "the author has the good grace and gratitude to praise Lovecraft’s ‘ingenious mind’ rather than sanctimoniously deplore his politics while simultaneously stealing his ideas, unlike some authors I won’t mention."
