New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird Review: Great stories, many familiar - I labor under a geas that compels me to buy pretty much every new Lovecraftian anthology or pastiche that comes down the Aylesbury pike. The upside is that sooner or later I read a lot of stories that have, or claim to have, that good old HPL-tinged cosmic horror and weirdness. The downside is that many new anthologies contain a fair number of stories I've already encountered, sometimes more than once. New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird is no exception. It's a very good array of tales, and I'm happy to have it in my library. It would be an even greater treat for a reader to whom more of the stories would be new. China Mieville's "Details," Neil Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald," and Charles Stross's "A Colder War" are among the stories likely to be familiar to most fans of Lovecraftian fiction. Deservedly so--they're great stories. I also especially liked Caitlin Kiernan's "Pickman's Other Model (1929)," Marc Laidlaw's "The Vicar of R'lyeh," Michael Marshall Smith's "Fair Exchange," and Norman Partridge's "Lesser Demons." New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird is a well-chosen and smartly edited anthology; one nice touch is the use of quotations from HPL as epigraphs. The anthology's main shortcoming is that it is but one entry in the increasingly crowded field of Cthulhu-themed or Lovecraftian anthos, and treads a somewhat well-trodden path. But better a little repetition than the unthinkable: a dearth of cosmic horror. That would be a real nightmare. Review: great anthology - Recommend for any Lovecraft fan. Keeping true with the Cthulhu mythos. Many creepy tales to keep you up at night wondering just what the cosmos holds. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1607012898 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,245,583 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #349 in Horror Collections & Anthologies (Books) #681 in Fantasy Anthologies #9,459 in Short Stories Anthologies | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (237) | | Dimensions | 6 x 2 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 9781607012894 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1607012894 | | Item Weight | 1.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 528 pages | | Publication date | November 22, 2011 | | Publisher | Prime Books | ## Images ![New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712XHfbxXNL.jpg) ![New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/315lGJBsN0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stories, many familiar *by R***F on October 6, 2012* I labor under a geas that compels me to buy pretty much every new Lovecraftian anthology or pastiche that comes down the Aylesbury pike.

Many creepy tales to keep you up at night wondering just what the cosmos holds. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A handful of great stories, and a bunch of others *by D***I on November 3, 2013* This was an interesting set of short stories all based off tales written by H.P. Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos. There are 27 stories, 5 of which I felt were really amazing ('A Study in Emerald' by Neil Gaiman, 'Details' by China Meiville, 'Pickman's Other Model' by Caitlin Kiernan, 'Fair Exchange' by Michael Marshall Smith, and 'A Colder War', by Charles Stross), then there are about 7 other stories that are pretty good, while the rest are just ok. Anyone that is a Cthulhu fan will enjoy at least half these stories, so that probably warrants buying the book. I'm sure that most of these stories are available by the author's themselves or in other anthologies. I am not a huge collector of Cthulhu novels, so most of these stories were completely new to me, which was nice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8204404-new-cthulhu-the-recent-weird](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8204404-new-cthulhu-the-recent-weird) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
