Featuring stories from Joyce Carol Oates, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Molly Tanzer, Lois H. Gresh, Nancy Kilpatrick, Elizabeth Bear, Gemma Files and many more fully color illustrated by Daniele Serra, Dreams from the Witch House highlights some of the very best women writers of weird fiction and Lovecraftian horror.

The history of the Old World is shrouded in secrecy. Creatures and forces unimaginable inhabited this realm for eons, long before any human navigated the surface of the earth. As the Old Ones have slumbered or observed from afar, humans have assembled civilization upon this fragile planet. Yet the whispers from the elders have been growing stronger, their energy once again seeping into the world. These whispers are being felt throughout the earth; from the roots of our flora to the dreams of our children. They are preparing us for what is to come.

In Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror the most intuitive dreamers have been assembled to give us glimpses into these ancient terrors and their whispered warnings. Featuring authors Joyce Carol Oates, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Lois Gresh, Gemma Files, Nancy Kilpatrick, Elizabeth Bear, Storm Constantine and others accompanied by the lavish artwork of Daniele Serra, Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror is a representation of some of the finest cosmic horror and weird fiction from female authors in the field today.

... with Lovecraftian litterature none the less is a very nice piece of wierd fiction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

The initial piece by Oates is a well done mood piece that while it lacks the more visceral horror elements normally associated with Lovecraftian litterature none the less is a very nice piece of wierd fiction.

Oates' opening isn't the collection's main attraction though. From the second story on this book delivers a number of quite diverse and in some cases extremely good fiction.

Having read literaly dozens of Mythos Horror Anthologies, this one stands out as one of the more memorable. The sheer width of the authors' imaginations range from cold sci-fi terror to farcical humour to deeply human portraits of personal horror in an uncaring universe.

Horror, sci fi, and masses of female talent.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2019

Some very original and entertaining Lovecraftian fiction, with an excellent sci fi adventure by Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear, a satisfying tale of the old gods on Mars from Caitlin R Kiernan, and the first published story from R A Kaelin that leaves you wanting more.

Really Good Reading Here

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love books of short stories because I may find a new favorite author. And horror stories are extra-good.

This is a great collection if you like Lovecraft, and even if not. While based on the style, these stories are more modern and relatable.

Good read. Totally awesome Danielle Sierra drawings. Can't go wrong here.

Do I Smell Plagiarism?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

While I was impressed overall with this book, I found one instance of blatant plagiarism. Unless the late, great Clark Ashton Smith's work has gone public domain, his story, "The Seed From the Sepulchre" was lift-dropped by Colleen Douglass into this collection. She called it "The Genesis Mausoleum" and the notes at the end of the book suggest that she came up with it herself after some early childhood experience. I'm really rather disappointed that the editor didn't catch this.

Great Lovecraftian stories by numerous authors. I've re-read half of the stories more than twice.

Great Collection! A Must-Read for all Lovecraft Fans

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2022

I could've done without Joyce Carol Oates starting off this collection (too overblown for my taste), but absolutely loved the illustrations. Cat Hellisen's, "The Face of Jarry," is truly amazing and my absolute favorite to date! Just the right interplay of the creepy, dreamy, and poetic. This collection was long overdue and I hope to see more like it.

Highly recommended anthology

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on July 31, 2019

An excellent selection of versatile and atmospheric stories, really stands out among Lovecraftian anthologies. Many stories are worth re-reading. The illustrations are brilliant as well!

Hovercraft has nothing to fear in this genre especially from the female authors

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I expected a lot from this book,but I am sorry to say it did not cut it for me. The stories are very muddled at times,and then they have you wondering what the next story will be like,which is a sure fire point that you are not enjoying the book. Maybe it will appeal to other readers,but it was not for me.
