my Goodreads review of Lovecraft eZine #18

[ankh_hpl]

Lovecraft eZine - October 2012 - Issue 18 by Trent Zelazny

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Though the Lovecraft eZine (ed. by Mike Davis) is always free to read online, I've been buying each issue for my Kindle to help support this Lovecraftian blog & magazine. October's Zelazny tribute issue (stories inspired by A Night in the Lonesome October) costs a bit extra due to the number of stories included -- 8, plus a very informative essay -- but what a bargain! I think I enjoyed this issue more than any of the previous 17, and I'd call it a must read for fans of Zelazny's classic October novel.

Though there's not a clunker in the bunch, my favorite stories were Derek Ferreira's "A Counting Game," William Meikle's "Carnacki: The Parliament of Owls," Joshua Wanisko's "The Great and Groovy Game," and Josh Reynolds' "The Gotterdammerung Gavotte." And Dr. Christopher S. Kovacs' concluding essay, which identifies many of the original novel's characters and inspirations, may justify buying the issue all by itself.
