Read the entire book in one day - just couldn't put it down. It was very unique, and poignant stories relating to lots of old civilizations and mysteries. Some of the tales were horror, some very touching, and some funny. The editor brought together a very eclectic mix of writers from around the world to discuss fictional takes on ancient civilizations and peoples. Great idea for a collection of stories and well executed. ( ) What I like about this collection is that the scope is so wide. Some of the civilizations described in the stories are real; others are fictional. Some take place in the past; others happen in the future. The climates range from the desert to the bottom of the ocean to steamy jungles to the frozen north. Nearly all of them have elements of the supernatural. They're all well written, except for the occasional typo. The only one I didn't like (and therefore didn't finish) is Sumeria to the Stars by Jonathan Vos Post. It's full of technical jargon with little plot. Otherwise, the stories are inventive and entertaining. I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Darkness exists everywhere, and in no place greater than those where spirits and curses still reside. Tread not lightly on ancient lands that have been discovered by this collection of intrepid authors. In DARK TALES OF LOST CIVILIZATIONS, you will unearth an anthology of twenty-five previously unpublished horror and speculative fiction stories, relating to aspects of civilizations that are crumbling, forgotten, rediscovered, or perhaps merely spoken about in great and fearful whispers. What is it that lures explorers to distant lands where none have returned? Where is Genghis Khan buried? What happened to Atlantis? Who will displace mankind on Earth? What laments have the Witches of Oz? Answers to these mysteries and other tales are presented within this critically acclaimed anthology by the following authors: Introduction by Eric J. Guignard
