内容（「BOOK」データベースより）
この風光明媚な湖には何かがある。夜ごと水面を這う七色の怪異な色彩、生長過剰な動植物たち。あまつさえ、この湖で泳くと生気が吸いとられていく。この異変に逸早く気づいたのが二人の老学者。彼らは湖の監視員はもとより、付近のキャンプ場の人々にも事の重大さを説いてまわるが、耳を貸す者は誰一人いない。そうこうするうちに、ついに湖の犠牲者が出始めた。老学者たちは事の真相を究明すべく、ラヴクラウトと交流のあった画家を訪れるが…。ラヴクラフトの名篇「異次元の色彩」を現代に甦らせたコズミック・ホラー・ファンタジィ。

形式:文庫
唐突かつ強引に展開する物語。主人公である、アル中、変人三人組の年甲斐のない愚かな行動。ある登場人物に対して延々と続く悪態。好きなテーマのはずだったのだが、読んでいていい加減うんざりした。

An Enjoyable Lovecratian read
2007/11/5
形式:マスマーケット
As a Lovecraftian author myself, I was surprised by the high quality of writing, atmosphere and quality of this little book. I'm a tough critic when it comes to Mythos stories, including my own, so it is always a refreshing surprise to come upon a contemporary author whose work pleases me. Yes, this is an homage, and it is very much based on Lovecraft's "Color Out of Space," but Shea takes the theme further than Lovecraft did, and he did it very well.

An Excellent Mythos Novel
2010/3/8
形式:マスマーケット
I bought this paperback when it first came out and I really enjoyed it. Like so many of those old paperbacks, I either gave away or lost my copy. Happily, I bought the awesome collection of Michael's work that was published by Centipede Press, THE AUTOPSY AND OTHER TALES, and therein I discovered the entire text to this short novel. I was shocked on re-reading it to find that Michael wrote the book in a style very unlike his more modern voice. The opening paragraph sets the tone:
"All the dire occurrences which I now set myself to report had for their setting a lake in the New England region--a dam-created lake which I shall not name. Let it--in the full force of that archaic formula against evil--REMAIN NAMELESS."
Michael evokes a wonderful sense of macabre place, as must be done with such a book concerning a haunted and tainted region. That such a region -- and that which infiltrates it -- can be called "evil" is entirely consistent with Lovecraft's own fiction. S. T. Joshi's knee-jerk dismissal of this novel is his wonderful book, THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CTHULHU MYTHOS, is for me far too hostile. Lovecraft did convey a sense of the evilness of his cosmic Old Ones. They were not at all indifferent to the fate of humanity, as some would have us believe. Yog-Sothoth and the Whateley brood in "The Dunwich Horror" are actively plotting the extinction of humanity. This is indeed "evil," as we understand it in connection to humanity and its morals. (But then, Joshi also dismisses "The Dunwich Horror" as an "artistic failure," since it too evokes a sense of the evil that threatens humanity.)
THE COLOR OUT OF TIME captures that sense of evil superbly, It is a thing of cosmic disease that infiltrates and region and affects its horror. The creature is indeed an enemy to humanity, as Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu are enemies who thirst for human destruction and extinction. Shea's novel expertly catches this sense of cosmic threat. The introduction of the star-stones is always a bit problematic for me, they were so poorly used by Derleth and Lumley; but it must be remembered that it was Lovecraft himself who introduced this device, in AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS.
Those looking for a well-written novel of the Cthulhu Mythos, that has its roots in the wondrous fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, this is a book you may certainly enjoy.

A Worthy Effort!
2003/10/16
形式:マスマーケット
A worthy homage to HPL, this short novel updates the
Mythos effectively. Shea does a fine job reproducing elements of HPL's prose "voice" while retaining his own
distinctive style. A must for any Mythos fans, if you can find it!
