"Some stories are more explicitly Lovecraftian than others, but all
demonstrate how Lovecraft's dark mythology continues to inspire
outstanding tales of modern horror." - Publisher's Weekly
Many of the best weird fiction writers (and creators in most other
media) have been profoundly influenced by the genre and the mythos H.P.
Lovecraft created eight decades ago. Lovecraft's themes of cosmic
indifference, minds invaded by the alien, and the horrors of history -
written with a pervasive atmosphere of unexplainable dread - are more
relevant than ever as we explore the mysteries of a universe in which
our planet is infinitesimal and climatic change is overwhelming it.
A few years ago, New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird presented some of the
best of this new Lovecraftian fiction from the first decade of the
twenty-first century. Now, New Cthulhu 2: More Recent Weird brings you
more eldritch tales and even fresher fiction inspired by Lovecraft.
