Lovecraft Mythos New & Classic Collection

This collection offers an exhilarating dive into the vivid universe of H.P. Lovecraft, featuring new stories crafted specifically for this edition. It invites readers into the eerie world of the Old Ones and the Elder Gods—an enigmatic and terrifying race. Within Lovecraft's universe, humanity exists in a delicate illusion, blind to the existence of ancient entities like Cthulhu, who lies dormant yet dreaming in the sunken city of R'lyeh, poised to rise and unleash chaos upon our realm.Lovecraft’s creation of this mythos provided a rich backdrop for his own tales and served as an invitation for fellow writers to contribute their own narratives. Early adopters such as Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E. Howard, and Robert Bloch explored these themes, and over time, authors like Ramsey Campbell, Lin Carter, and August Derleth further expanded the mythos. They developed the fictional town of Arkham and characters like Azathoth and Nyarlathotep, weaving new layers into this complex universe.The Lovecraftian mythos continues to be a compelling canvas for writers of supernatural, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. For this anthology, submissions of entirely new stories have been included, with many making their debut here. Contemporary and distinguished authors like Hal Bodner, Evey Brett, and Caitlín R. Kiernan, among others, have been featured, promising a fresh expansion of this shared, haunting universe.
