There are no Tolkienesque elves or post- ]] vampire lover/killers here. They’re all fantasy, as advertised, but they’re very different kids of fantasy from each other – many, in fact, consider ]] to be science fiction, indeed the ur-SF novel – and none of them are much like what’s mostly found in the “Fantasy” section of a bookstore. Lovecraft’s “]]” – that each take up about a third of the book, and some shorter pieces that fill up the rest. ]] has two long adaptations – of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and of H.P. (There’s no one chomping at the bit for a full volume of Sax Rohmer or Anne Radcliffe, for example, and it’s also a way to do more Poe or Lovecraft without doing a full-fledged “volume two.”) The “]]” series most of the time sticks to a single author per volume, but not always – they’ve had ]], ]], and ]] already, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see more along those lines.
