Publisher's Summary
The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft: a brand new anthology that collects the 12 principal deities of the Lovecraftian Mythos and sets them loose. Featuring the biggest names in horror and dark fantasy, including many New York Times best sellers; full of original fiction; and individual commentary on each of the deities by Donald Tyson.
Lovecraft's bestiary of gods has had a major influence on the horror scene from the time these sacred names were first evoked. Cthulhu, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth - this pantheon of the horrific calls to mind the very worst of cosmic nightmares and the very darkest signs of human nature. The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft brings together 12 all-new Mythos tales from: Cthulhu (Adam Nevill) , Yog-Sothoth (Martha Wells), Azathoth (Laird Barron) , Nyarlathotep (Bentley Little), Shub-Niggurath (David Liss), Tsathoggua (Brett Talley), The Mi-Go (Christopher Golden and James A. Moore); Night-gaunts (Jonathan Maberry); Elder Things (Joe Lansdale); Great Race (Rachel Caine); Yig (Douglas Wynne); and The Deep Ones (Seanan McGuire).

Great works from Lovecraft
The only issue I had was with the mono-toned reader otherwise it was a great listen.

Not the scariest book I've ever read
From the title, I was already anticipating Ultimate Horror, so the stories would have to go the extra mile to impress me. For the most part, they did not.
I rated each of the 12 stories on a scale of 1 to 5, and added the scores. They rated 27 points out of 60, which is a failing grade. Some of the tales mingled mundane horrors with Lovecraft’s eldritch dread. Cthulhu arrived late to the party for the destruction of the environment. The Private Investigator proved that Lovecraft’s monsters would fare badly against modern Urban Fantasy.
Rachel Caine’s “A Dying of the Light” moved me most of all, dealing with the aged, dementia, and an ending worthy of Rod Serling.
The interstitial descriptions of the particular race in each story was almost superfluous, showing no connection to Lovecraft or to the story just presented.
The narrator’s flat delivery didn’t help.
