Summary: Absolutely stunning! The best horror writing I've ever read.
Comment: My original review for "The Transition of H.P. Lovecraft: The Road to Madness" was posted on January 10th 1999. The title and review was written as follows:
Title:
A true master of the macabre.
Review:
My only complaint about the writings of H.P. Lovecraft would be that many of his stories are of a similar nature and theme. Irregardless of this I found most of his stories to be extremely impressive works of fantasy and horror.
H.P. Lovecraft is a true past master. If you like anything that has ever dealt with horror, fantasy, or sci-fi, then you would be doing yourself a great disservice to not read a collection of Lovecraft stories at least once in your life.
I was very, very impressed by my first encounter with Lovecraft's work. I will read more of his material before my life is over.
End of original review.
I am very pleased with my original review and have re-reviewed it to properly put it under my correct name and Amazon.com identity.
The only thing new that I would like to add to this re-review would be this: the last story in this collection is called "At The Mountains of Madness." This story is hands down the best horror story I have ever read in my entire life. Nothing I have read since has equaled it, and nothing ever will. I consider it a profound pleasure that back in 1999 I read a horror story that will stand for the rest of my life as the greatest horror story I have ever read.

Summary: Independant Review
Comment: I highly recomend this book. It combines classic lovecraft stories (such as "At the Mountains of Madness") with some of his lesser known classics (like "The Shunned House" and "The Street")
I think that this book in conjunction with "Dreams of Terror and Death: The Dream Cycle of H.P. Lovecraft" and "Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre: The Best of H.P. Lovecraft" could be the definitive (although by no means complete) Lovecraft
collection.
Some of the stories are rascist, but with Lovecraft's background, what else would you expect.
Rating: 5
Summary: Horrors!
Comment: My first experience with Lovecraft was reading "The Lurking Fear" and "The Outsider". His descriptions, his prose, his gift for getting even the least creative reader inside his stories...it's pure genius. These tales are guaranteed to send a chill down your spine. Whether a fan of the genre or not, one cannot fal to appreciate his skill at vividly creating an aura of creepiness no other modern author has been able to duplicate.
