The stories in this book evoke an evil rarely rivaled in horror writing, representing the whole evolving trajectory of such notions as Hastur, the King in Yellow, Carcosa, the Yellow Sign, the Black Stone, Yuggoth, and the Lake of Hali.
Throwing in the towel on this one at about the halfway mark.
I love when other play in Lovecraft's sandbox, because they usually bring some great insights and directions into the mix. But this book is predicated on the idea of, "what if Hastur was bigger than Cthulhu?" and then collects a bunch of Hastur related stories.
It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately, none of the stories I read really wowed me, and I didn't feel like wading through the rest of them to keep getting the same disappointed feeling. Some neat ideas in there, but very dull execution.
