Including works by members of the original Lovecraft Circle: Robert Bloch, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, and Clark Ashton Smith.
In the depths of human imagination lies a realm where ancient gods stir in their slumbers, where forbidden knowledge teeters on the edge of consciousness, and where cosmic horror casts its suffocating veil over reality. This is the world of the Cthulhu Mythos, a tapestry woven from the mind of one of the most enigmatic and influential writers of the 20th century, H. P. Lovecraft.
Throughout this collection, we’ll embark on a journey through the Cthulhu Mythos, the fictional universe that has captured the hearts and minds of generations. Following Lovecraft’s introduction to the Great Old One himself in The Call of Cthulhu, we’ll explore the works of those who contributed their own Lovecratian tales, expanding and enriching the mythos with their unique perspectives and distinctive voices.
We'll encounter unimaginable entities such as Azathoth and Hastur—those uncanny beings whose mere existence defies comprehension. And we'll meet the intrepid human beings who dared to seek out forbidden knowledge, often to their peril, coming up against the boundaries of human understanding and the terrifying implications of cosmic insignificance.
Prepare to be drawn into a world where reality is a fragile veil, and the unknown looms larger than life itself. Steel yourself for a journey that delves into the realm of the unfathomable, the unimaginable, and the inescapable—welcome to the enigmatic and chilling universe of the Cthulhu Mythos.
