The Temple of Dagon

Who are the best or worst writers currently writing mythos fiction?

Anyone read:
Children of Cthulhu
Dead but Dreaming
Eldritch Blue
Miskatonic University
Shadows over Baker Street

How do you rate them?

I haven't even heard of those but then again I avoid all those modern Mythologists. Everyone tends to add too much of himself into the Mythos and not enough Mythos.

I do not think I have caught any of those either. I am always up for buying new mythos stuff that I happen to come across in a bookstore, but lately I have not really went out of my way to go looking for it...

I am still afraid that if I did, I would spend way too much money collecting

Welcome to the forum btw!

i;ve had children of cthulhu for a while.
good stuff.
havent heard of the rest though
guess i'll be adding them to my collection soon enough though.

I've read Shadows over Baker Street. It has two or three worthwhile stories, a few semi-entertaining ones, and a lot of crap.

If you're the type of Lovecraft fan that blows a wad whenever some facet of the mythos is mentioned in a short story, (even if the story lacks such things as originality, cleverness, & plot), then this book is for you.

I'd say the book is worth borrowing or picking up for cheap at a used book store. It has an alternate-history tale by Neil Gaiman that's pretty damned cool.

Children of Cthulhu was rather good. Non Chaosium compilations can be very hit or miss quality wise.

Eldritch Blue has some good stuff in it.
