Well, you've got to have a tag! I'm not sure this is the one, but... 😁
I've taken the plunge and ordered the Panther edition as I have others in that series. I do have the title story in another book, so I'm getting started on that and look forward to sharing thoughts and impressions with you both 😊
Bookwomble @bthegood @The_Book_Ninja I've looked up the waxwork subjects in Rogers' Museum I wasn't aware of & now know something of the French serial killer, Landru (also the name of a mad computer in Star Trek TOS), the murder of David Rizzio, but nothing about Madame Demers, other than that she was a Canadian murdered by her husband Napoleon. Quite an eclectic presentation. Also, a nice mention of Lovecraft's artist/author friend, Clark Ashton Smith. 1y
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble @bthegood Well I warned you I‘m a slow reader. I started and I‘m a few pages in. The introduction confirms what you told me, old Lovecraft was rewriting stories by other authors. I‘m not far in enough to tell if the difference between these and his solo work is profound, plus reading a few Cthulhu stories doesn‘t make me an expert. But I do dig this shared cosmic/eldritch universe 1y
bthegood @The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I just started reading last night - since this is the first of Lovecraft for me I have nothing to compare it to - finished introductions and a few pages into the story - 1y

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja @bthegood I'm just a few pages in, too, for to nodding off while reading 😴😄 So we're on roughly the same page. I'll refrain from further comments until we're all finished so as not to spoiler anything. 1y
