Featuring new stories specially commissioned for the collection
this offering of H.P. Lovecraft's shared universe is a thrilling
immersion into the world of Old Ones and the Elder Gods, an ancient
race of terrifying beings. In Lovecraft's vision we live in a deep,
but fragile illusion, unable to comprehend the ancient beings, such
as the Cthulhu who lies dead but dreaming in the submerged city of
R'lyeh, waiting to rise then wreak havoc on our realm of existence.
Lovecraft used the mythos to create a background to his fiction,
and challenged many writer companions to add their own stories.
Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Frank Belknap
Long, Henry Kuttner were amongst the first but over the years many
others such as Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter and August Derleth added
their voices to the many mythic cycles, developing themes and new
fictional pathways for the town of Arkham, and the creatures
Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. The Lovecraft Mythos is fertile ground
for any writer of supernatural, horror, fantasy and science
fiction, so for this edition we opened our submissions for brand
new stories, many published here for the first time, to continue
expanding the shared universe. New, contemporary and notable
writers featured are: Hal Bodner, Evey Brett, Ramsey Campbell,
Helen E. Davis, JG Faherty, Cody Goodfellow, Rachael K. Jones,
Scott R. Jones, CaitlĂn R. Kiernan, Nancy Kilpatrick, N.R.
Lambert, Victor LaValle, Thana Niveau, John Possidente, John
Llewellyn Probert, Mark Samuels, William Browning Spencer, R.S.
Stefoff, Jonathan Thomas, Donald Tyson and Douglas Wynne.
