This particular piece is highly subjective. I’m just going to say that now. We all like different things and my choices won’t be your choices. But, having said that, I hope to give reasons why I liked these stories the best. I have to say I haven’t read every Mythos story ever – who has? New ones are being written every day from top novelists like Stephen King to the lowest z-grade-quality fanzine or webzine. It just isn’t possible to read EVERYTHING. Still, I have read literally hundreds of them. (How about you?)
