The most annoying is that each chapter is one long paragraph, making dialogue in particular a chore to read.Although not really formatting errors, I'll mention that the somewhat useless table of contents has one blank entry and no entries for the chapters.

Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, though the story is solely credited to Lovecraft. This is the first time I've run across a Cthullu-inspired story written by a woman. I'm sure there were more (give me time, I'll find them) during Lovecraft's time. Even though Lovecraft heavily edited her stories, the writing style is Bishop's.The story is in first person and the character (we never learn his name) is driving through Missouri. A storm is brewing on the horizon and our character must find shelter. Cue in a large plantation with an old man as the sole occupant of the mansion. The old man invites our character to weather the upcoming storm in his home. Our character notes the home's deteriorating condition. The reclusive old man introduces himself as Antoine de Russy the owner of Riverside Plantation.We learn that de Russy's son, Denis, and his best friend, Frank, went to Paris, France to pursue their respective studies and have fun. Both men are soon sidetracked by an intriguing woman running a strange "prehistoric Egyptian cult". Denis is so enamored that he marries this woman and returns with her to Missouri. de Russy and the woman do not get along but he notices how the blacks on his plantation stay away from her, all except an old Zulu woman who had been seen talking to this French seductress. de Russy tries to tell his son there is something inherently wrong with his wife. It isn't until Frank comes to visit the couple, to finish the portrait of Denis's wife, that her identity is exposed--with gruesome results.Throughout Medusa's Coil, the characters' bias toward "the other" is transparent and mars the ending. In fact, it is part of the ending! That's ashame because it really had a decent plot and though Lovecraft edited the story, as I said earlier, Bishop's style made the story readable. Medusa's Coil gives us a different spin on the Medusa myth that should have taken front and center instead of the authors' obsessive biases.

A man stops for the night at a half-ruined mansion (a great way for any such story to begin). As he talks with the hermit-like resident, a complex story unfolds, gradually building in horror as dark rituals, murder, and undying evil begin to emerge. As with Lovecraft's best, the nature of that dark force never becomes wholly clear, even as the adjectives multiply and run rampant across the page. Then at the very end, the story takes an unexpected and even more mysterious turn.Good for Lovecraft fans, but not for anyone easily offended by racial slurs and stereotypes common in the early 20th century.-- wiredweird, reviewing a copy available without cost on the web
