Unfortunately I found this book something of a disappointment, whilst August Derleth's knowledge of H P Lovecraft was extensive I feel that he is guilty of trying to out Cthulhu Lovecraft. The stories themselves lack the mystery of Lovecraft's work and most share a common thread so that reading them in succession becomes almost painful.
A book for the Lovecraft completest only.
The Mask of Cthulhu
Unsuspected horrors stalk the people of Arkham, Innsmouth & Aylesbury
THE RETURN OF HASTUR
Mysterious subterranean caverns snake beneath the gloomy estate on Aylesbury Road... where Hastur, half brother of Great Cthulhu, awaits his chance!
THE SEAL OF R'LYEH
A young man returns to his ancestral home to begin the search for the legendary city of R'lyeh... the city where Cthulhu dreams and sleeps!
THE HOUSE IN THE VALLEY
When Jefferson Bates rents a house in the vicinity of Arkham, he is afflicted with strange dreams that couldn't possibly come true... or could they?
