Tales of tentacles, terror, and madness from the publisher who brought
you Wastelands, The Living Dead, and Brave New Worlds
First described by visionary author H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu mythos
encompass a pantheon of truly existential cosmic horror: Eldritch,
uncaring, alien god-things, beyond mankind's deepest imaginings, drawing
ever nearer, insatiably hungry, until one day, when the stars are
right....
As that dread day, hinted at within the moldering pages of the fabled
Necronomicon, draws nigh, tales of the Great Old Ones--Cthulhu,
Yog-Sothoth, Hastur, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and the weird cults that
worship them--have cross-pollinated, drawing authors and other dreamers
to imagine the strange dark aeons ahead, when the dead-but-dreaming gods
return.
Now, intrepid anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has delved deep into the
Cthulhu canon, selecting from myriad mind-wracking tomes twenty-seven
sanity-shattering stories of cosmic terror. Featuring fiction by many of
today's masters of the menacing, macabre, and monstrous, including Laird
Barron, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and Thomas Ligotti, The Book of Cthulhu goes
where no collection of Cthulhu mythos tales has gone before: to the very
edge of madness... and beyond!
Do you dare open The Book of Cthulhu?
Do you dare heed the call?
