“Jones has put together a good collection of Innsmouth themed stories in this anthology. Many, I was surprised, I had read before and thus I ended up skipping large sections of text. Though disheartening for me, those who haven't read these stories will find them to be excellent reads and well worth their time.
Overall this anthology was pretty good. Having read the first one, the Innsmouth theme is a bit drier at this point, but the sheer variety of stories was still entertaining to read. As I had mentioned, there were a fair number of repeats which was a let down for me, but may not be for others. The main reason I am giving this anthology three stars is because overall not a lot of unique things were done with the Innsmouth theme, something the previous anthology seemed to have done better if my memory is correct.
Still, Jones has collected some really good stories in this collection and this anthology is worth reading just for them. Just expect a lot of the same kinds of stories with the same monsters and such is all. Lovecraft fans will love this collection, but the general reader will probably find it to be fairly reparative, more so if they read the first anthology. So if you like Deep Ones and Innsmouth, go for it!”
