Description of  Weird Shadows Over Innsmouth

Stephen Jones is a leading expert on horror and is the author of the Illustrated Movie Guide series. He is the winner of three World Fantasy Awards, four Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker Awards and three International Horror Guild Awards as well as being a twenty-time recipient of the British Fantasy Award and a Hugo Award nominee. Upon buying this book I had the expectation of it being packed with nightmare rendering tales of terror, but to my dismay that turned out not to be the case. Though the tales are extremely well written along with sticking to the nature of being weird, each unfortunately falls fairly short of being an actual horror story. Still, I fully recommend adding this nice anthology for all fans of Lovecraft.
