Review
Lin Carter takes the legendary Anton Zarnak to where few psychic detectives dare to go...a midnight page turner! -- Joseph M. Mauceri, Fearsmag.com
About the Author
The late Lin Carter was a Grand Master of Fantasy. With L. Sprague de Camp, Carter continued the adventures of Conan the Barbarian (created by Robert E. Howard) and created his own barbarian hero Thongor. Among supernatural detectives, Carter's Anton Zarnak stands tall, filling the literary stage with a mysterious and intriguing character. Lin Carter strove mightily to do one thing--to perpetuate the great heritage of fantastic fiction. He succeeded even beyond his own lifetime.

NEW TWISTS ON OLD FAVORITE,
By Ron Fortier "Air Chief" (Fort Collins, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lin Carter's Anton Zarnak Supernatural Sleuth (Paperback)
Robert Price is a genius editor. Rather than having his eight writers created new stories of the late Lin Carter's hero in the exact same mold as the originator, he let them run loose with the character. The results are 8 marvelous adventures, each giving usnew and different approaches to Anton Zarnak' from action, to horro and even some comedy mixed-in. More anthologies should be this fun.

Nice Collection of Occult Detective Stories,
By
This review is from: Lin Carter's Anton Zarnak Supernatural Sleuth (Paperback)
If you're a fan of Seabury Quinn and his master criminologist/occult expert Jules de Grandin, you'll appreciate this collection. Lin Carter was quite open that this was intended to be an homage to de Grandin (as well as Howard's Steve Harrison and Rohmer's Neyland Smith), but Carter's stories stand alone very well. The stories by other authors are interesting, but the love for (and knowledge of) this sub-genre shines through in Carter's two offerings.The reviewer who found no Cthulhu Mythos in these stories was mistaken. Every single story makes reference to things Lovecraftian.
