Kiernan, Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth "Brackish Waters" by Richard A. As soon as the library gets their copy of the first volume back, it will be in my little webbed hands for my reading pleasure. Apr 29, Bethnoir rated it really liked it. I am amazed, after 2 Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth short story compliations, that this book managed to be a s surprising and delightful as it was. You might think that tales inspired by H P Lovecraft's fiction might get a bit samey, but once again there was much to surprise and impress. I was particularly taken by Kim Newman's unusual take on the mythology and alarmed by Conrad Williams story. I recommend this book. Probably one of his most accessible but also, I feel, one of his most evocative of time and place as well as his most visceral. Kiernan and Paul McAuley I thought it was worth a try. In the original story, a man trying Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth travel cheaply Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth the area ends up going through the coa "The Shadow over Innsmouth" has always been one of my favourite stories of Lovecraft. In the original story, a man trying to travel cheaply through the area ends up going through the coastal town of Innsmouth. Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth spends an uncomfortable night in this place that shunned by the the people in nearby towns and shrouded in mystery and rumour. Turns out many of the people here have long been interbreeding with an amphibian humanoid race and worship an ancient good of the sea; Dagon. Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth it goes on with the stories that in some ways help elucidate the ideas and themes that were perhaps more obscure in the original story. The standard of the stories were generally good but without any truly outstanding contributions. And the narrowness of the theme got a bit repetitive after a while; I'm used to reading anthologies with a broader remit. I think that generally I prefer authors to be more loosely inspired by Lovecraft, to go off and explore their own mythos. Still, it was well worth a read. Huge disappointment. Even the Copper and Lumley stories failed to bring this book to life. I actually enjoyed most of the stories in here more than in Shadows Over Innsmouththe first of this "series". This could be because there were less stories in this one, so there's less chance for there to Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth duds. Many of the stories in that one started to blend together. For me Brian Lumley's "The Taint" is worth the price of admission alone. It was a story I had Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth read and enjoyed in high school, and I was happy to find it held up just as well if not becoming more enjoyable on the re-read I actually enjoyed most of the stories in here more than in Shadows Over Innsmouththe first of this "series". It was a story I had first read and enjoyed in high school, and I was happy to find it held up just as well if not becoming more enjoyable on the re- read. An insidiously creepy and modern take on the Deep Ones. But all of the stories in here ranged from good to great. Lovecraft's unfinished "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" draft was also an interesting read; I eagerly gobble up anything of his like the devoted fangirl I am! A recommended read for those who are looking for some good and creepy Deep One stories. View 1 comment. Apr 19, ashley mckenzie rated it really liked it. Great short stories. I wasn't a huge fan of this one in the series. Maybe it wasn't my tastes, but I felt like I was forcing myself to read this, Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth of just enjoying the book. I like the stories because they are based on Lovecraft fiction. However, Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth have yet to read one that mimicks his style exactly. I wish he had written more. Oct 17, Mark rated it did not like it. I found the stories very engaging, even with the racism and sexism that I've come to expect in some of these Lovecraftian tales. Some had really good twists in them too. Jones has put together a good collection of Innsmouth themed stories in this anthology. Many, I was surprised, I had read before and thus I ended up skipping large sections of text. Though disheartening for me, those who haven't read these stories will find them to be excellent reads and well worth their time.

Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth tend to steer clear of themed anthologies, not that I haven't enjoyed a few in the past, but ideally when I read a collection I want to be completely surprised from one story to Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth next. And these are inspired by a single story! Furthermore, though I adore Lovecraft, I hate "Lovecraftian. But the author list was At first glance this seems like the sort of anthology I'd avoid.
