Unfortunately, I was unable to read this on my Kindle device as it was only made available for the NetGalley Shelf app. I have since a bought a copy and hope to get to it soon. Unfortunately, I am also forced to leave a star rating; please ignore that part.

A solid horror anthology that includes Cthulhu Mythos, and a nice collection of deeply Weird stories. recommended.

Overall I enjoyed reading these stories. Except for the Lovecraft story these were all new to me. Like any anthology I enjoyed some stories more than others. Some were truly scary while others just left me confused. Enjoy the stories

This was an engaging collection of Lovecraftian-inspired stories by a variety of talented authors. None (save Lovecraft) were familiar to me, so it was a nice chance to find new authors to explore. Highly recommended for any Lovecraft fan!

If there was ever any doubt as to the massive influence Lovecraft still has over modern horror literature, one would need to look no further than Wonder and Glory Forever, an exciting collection of cosmic horror inspired by the master. This collection is perfect for both seasoned veterans of Lovecraft, as well as new converts looking to ease into the often verbose and otherworldly writing style that his tales usually have.

Great collection of stories! I didn't want the book to end. I found some new authors to check out and I can't wait to see what their stories are.

I read anything more or less inspired by Lovecraft. I love the Lovecraftian world and monster and so this anthology was perfect for me. Lot of very interesting new author, at least new to me, that I enjoy and will dig up to see what else they have done and for me this is what anthology are for! Perfect!

Terrific collection with first rate talent assembled to weave their cosmic terrors for those who dare. Though I do wish it were available in a Kindle friendly format. It's so much easier to read that way.

It has been awhile since I last read a Lovecraftian story. I forgot that one of the most defining qualities is the descriptive manner of writing. Everyone of your senses engages thanks to the skillful writing. When describing the town of Innsmouth, you see the "creepy" residents, you smell the fishy order of decay, you hear the waterfalls, you taste the dismal air on your tongue and you feel all of the emotions brought up quickly when you first see the bus....and this is part of that reading experience in every story. These authors pay tribute to Lovecraft the best way they can, but writing their versions of a story in his very distinctive style. Loved it!
