ReceptionDon D'Ammassa notes that this "collection of Schweitzer’s Lovecraftian stories" displays "differing tones and narrative styles ... [using] a variety of physical and historical settings ... and occasionally ... touches of surrealism to enhance the weird atmosphere." He declares "Hanged Man and Ghost" among his "favorite stories here," with "Innsmouth Idyll" "also quite good," and "Spiderwebs in the Dark" and "The Clockwork King, the Queen of Glass, and the Man with the Hundred Knives" "also worth mentioning." He finds "[e]ven the weakest stories ... entertaining."[3]The collection was also reviewed by Peter Tennant in Black Static, Nov./Dec. 2016.[2] Notes1. ^1 Awaiting Strange Gods on Fedogan & Bremer website {{Darrell Schweitzer}}2. ^1 2 {{isfdb title|id=1929513|title=Awaiting Strange Gods: Weird and Lovecraftian Fictions}} 3. ^D'Ammassa, Don.
