An anthology centered around Innsmouth, authored by British writers?
Sounds interesting, and that's what initially drew me to this collection.

'Shadows over Innsmouth' collects together some pretty well known writers, and each of their personal takes on the whole Innsmouth setting are all interesting and unique. (the last story containing a werewolf of all things!) Combined with the unique writing styles and personal voice of each of the authors, the reader is sure to find something to tickle their fancy.

As with any anthology, there are stories that I didn't find as interesting as the others. However, even these stories kept my interest with their own take on the theme for the anthology. I will state that none of the stories struck me as a bad story, but rather, as I said, just weren't as interesting as some of the others.

Jones has done a really good job constructing this anthology, and I have already bought the next collection of his themed around Innsmouth. This collection is a must for any Lovecraft fan, more so if you have any interest in the Innsmouth theme like myself.
