Reddit reviews Dead But Dreaming

One that I really enjoyed but hasn't been mentioned yet is the first Dead but Dreaming. While not all the stories are superb, and there isn't a whole lot of new ground broken in them, the overall collection felt pretty good and a couple of the stories, David Barr Kirtley's "The Disciple" and Robin Morris's "The Thing Beyond the Stars", have stuck me with me for years after reading them. David Annandale's "Final Draft" is either over-the-top or fan-service, but it made a fine ending for a collection about a more modern take to the mythos.

I just started Dead But Dreaming, and judging from the foreword (I said I just started...) it sounds like something right up your alley. The editor mentions in a letter to his colleague the impropriety in ascribing things like "human motivations" and "morals" to creatures that are supposed to be incomprehensible terrors.
