Cthulhu Tales Omnibus: Madness

Cthulhu Tales Omnibus: Madness by a collection of writers, 209 pages

For calling itself an omnibus I was expecting a lot more than just 209 pages. Also I was expecting some tales to be by Lovecraft as well. But I was very disappointed. Not only does this only have a couple of stories about Cthulhu but it has none of the originals.

What it does have is some decent stories and more that are more mocking of Cthulhu than anything else. In one he/it? is portrayed as the lead member in a band that is on the verge of splitting up over their image. There is also one where Cthulhu is summoned on a reality T.V. show and then gets voted off. The stories are all graphic novels which both helps and hinders.

Overall this was not what I expected it to be and was disappointed.
