The Disciples of Cthulhu | Edward P. Berglund

so-so

(1976) It's a collection of nine stories by different authors, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's weird stories about ancient gods and monsters. It's a bit of a disappointment: a few stories are duds, and even the ones I liked suffer from mannered prose that I assume was intended to imitate Lovecraft's. Still the stories by Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell, and Walter DeBill made it worthwhile.

This was my #BookSpin for April.

The Disciples of Cthulhu | Edward P. Berglund

Well, it's another #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin and another pairing of two very different books. I'm not sure what a mashup would look like, but I wouldn't be surprised if Tim Powers already had a treatment sitting in a notebook somewhere.

Thanks for doing this again, @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Good luck!! 3y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Lol, I guess if I had just checked your feed I wouldn‘t have had to ask the question on your other post. 🤦‍♀️🤣 3y

swynn @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm No worries. Nice to know others are watching! 😄 3y

Day 176.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Mythos: A Retelling of the Myths of Ancient Greece | Stephen Fry

pick

This was an absolute pleasure to listen to. I greatly enjoyed the references to Neil Gaiman (another lover of mythology) and Percy Jackson (who brought many to mythology for the first time), really turning this into a version of these myths for everyone. The etymological tidbits throughout are good fun. I quite enjoyed Fry‘s appendices at the end, adding a little nonfiction to the mix.
