PRAISE FOR WEIRDER SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH
“A testament both to Mr Jones’ skill as an editor and the talents of the authors he has picked to contribute this time around… One of the best Lovecraft-inspired anthologies ever, Weirder Shadows over Innsmouth doesn’t have a bad story in it. Full marks to Mr Jones and his authors for breathing new life into the subgenre, whether it be by natural methods or through the gills they hopefully haven’t acquired as a result of meddling with those Weird and Shadowy things best left alone by the rest of us.” THIS IS HORROR
“All the stories that Jones has selected—once again a mix of reprints and originals—reflect some aspects of Lovecraft’s original… The best stories in Weirder Shadows Over Innsmouth prove, as those in Jones’ previous compilations did, that Lovecraft’s concepts of cosmic horror and the set pieces that he used to express them, continue to inspire contemporary writers working in the tradition he inaugurated nearly a century ago.” LOCUS
“Weirder Shadows is a fine finale to the Innsmouth trilogy; a well-curated, reverent homage to one of the most influential pieces of horror fiction ever written.” RUE MORGUE
“These are the kind of stories Lovecraft might have written if he had been born a generation or two later than he was.” CRITICAL MASS
PRAISE FOR WEIRD SHADOWS OVER INNSMOUTH
“Not just H. P. Lovecraft fans will revel in this fine follow-up to Jones’ Shadows Over Innsmouth, a World Fantasy 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.” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“Jones has brought together some of the industry’s top-notch authors… This collection is strongly recommended for Mythos fans. Due to the overall quality of the writing, though, it is strongly recommended for everyone else, too.” HELLNOTES
“Fascinating and recommended.” ALL HALLOWS
