PRAISE FOR SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH ""GOOD, SLIMY FUN . . . There are a number of genuinely frightening pieces here."" --San Francisco Chronicle ""A FINE ASSEMBLY OF TALENTED WRITERS . . . A super anthology for Lovecraft fans."" --Science Fiction Chronicle ""A terrific anthology . . . from some of the best British writers in the field today. Highly recommended."" --The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror ""A supremely entertaining volume . . . A very strong anthology."" --The Scream Factory ""Horror abounds in Shadows over Innsmouth."" --Publishers Weekly ""Addicts of American Gothic will like it."" --The Times (London) ""An intelligent, witty anthology."" --The Good Book Guide ""Lovecraftians will rejoice."" --Booklist PRAISE FOR WEIRD SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH “Not just H.P. Lovecraft fans will revel in this fine follow-up to Jones's Shadows Over Innsmouth (1994), a World Fantasy Award finalist. As in its predecessor, the stories in this anthology draw inspiration from Lovecraft's classic novelette of alien miscegenation, ""The Shadow Over Innsmouth,"" but avoid Cthulhu Mythos clichés. The two best tales are Kim Newman's metafictional ""Another Fish Story,"" which involves a quest for a subterranean sea in the Mohave Desert by Charles Manson and Lon Chaney Jr., and Paul McAuley's affecting ""Take Me to the River,"" which explains why people would seek the gods known as the Old Ones. Other contributors include Richard A. Lupoff, Basil Copper, Caitlín R. Kiernan and Ramsey Campbell.” --Publishers Weekly PRAISE FOR WEIRDER SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH “One of the best Lovecraft-inspired anthologies ever!” --This is Horror
