Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-08 00:00:00 Daniel Hultine The authors' decision to organize entries by subject matter is misguided: far too many books fall under more than one heading, resulting in much repetition of entries. Finding all entries for a particular author is difficult; the general index does not list book titles under the author's name. Discussion of the books does not extend beyond a very brief plot outline, followed by a vague enthusiastic comment or two. I did not get the impression that the authors' knowledge of the subject is particularly deep: Bleiler's classic guides to weird fiction are omitted from the reference section, and Carter's dated and useless book on Lovecraft is listed while Joshi's award-winning biography is not. On the other hand, I did get some promising leads on books previously unknown to me from reading this book. It's just not a reference source in the same class as similar books by Barron, Tymn, Bleiler, Pringle, and Joshi.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-15 00:00:00 Navjot Dhiman I actually read the second edition- couldn�t find it in goodreads- and it�s a three. I love the premise. I�d like this book to own to like give me ideas as I need them for reading material but it felt repetitive at times and it was misleading to call it the second edition- it�s really the second volume as it leaves out books from the first edition and focuses on the time since the first was released.
