Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The diversity on display in Black Wings is what makes the collection so enticing. Running the gamut from old-fashioned homage to contemporary nail-biter, all the stories smolder with the ghostly essence of Lovecraft." --Bloody Disgusting

"It's damn near perfect. Go get it immediately" --Dread Central

"Likely to be the best read of the year." --Brutal as Hell

"A flawless 10 out of 10." --cthutube

" To say I thoroughly enjoyed this collection would be an understatement of epic proportions. Each story is worthy of the admission fee alone, so collected here in this tome (book seems a wholly inappropriate word when dealing with Cthulhu Mythos) they are entirely worthy of your time! --Geeklore

" These twenty-one stories are diverse enough to offer something for everyone... Those readers wanting dark glimpses of the madness beyond human comprehension will find many shards of illumination in this bulky compendium of cosmic horrors and alien miscegenation. --Horrorview.com

"A true homage to a master of creepy story-telling." --TG Daily

"Coming in at just over 500 pages, it was S.T. Joshi's name on the cover that made me take the plunge. By the time the book was over, I was craving 500 more pages." --Horror Talk

"This reprint for the masses is a splendid tribute to the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft. With their unique riffs on the man and his literary legacy, the writers gathered in this anthology dream deliciously darkly, indeed." --Hellnotes

"The twenty-on stories in Black Wings of Cthulhu are unique, sometimes puzzling, but very successfully manage to remain fresh in their interpretations of the Lovecraftian mood." --Lynne Jamneck

"Creating a genuine sense of unease and fear, relying on half-truths and rumour, Lovecraftian relics, recreated history, undiscovered religions and the remnants and fandom and convention fodder to spin their chilling webs...each and every story told is a more than worthy addition to the ever evolving Lovecraftian tradition offering something new, yet strangely welcoming and familiar to fans new and old, alike." -- --Mass Movement Magazine

"Every story in this collection is outstanding. Joshi knows how to seek out those authors who know Lovecraft. He finds those authors who feel Lovecraft in their souls. This is a superb anthology not only for Lovecraft fans, but those appreciate true Gothic horror." ----Horror Novel Reviews
