Lovecraft's mysterious story "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" is the jumping-off point for a genuinely terrifying collection of short stories exploring his legendary Cthulhu Mythos. Also featuring "Only the End of the World Again" by Neil Gaiman, "A Quarter to Three" by Kim Newman, "Dagon's Bell" by Brian Lumley, and fourteen more tales. Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's classic, today's masters of horror take up their pens and turn once more to that decayed, forsaken New England fishing village with its sparkling treasure, loathsome denizens, and unspeakable evil.
