Overview
The Cthulhu Mythos was created by H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), a Providence, RI, author considered by many to be the finest horror writer of the twentieth century. Lovecraft's tales are a blend of fantasy, science fiction, and especially horror. Some of his stories describe a pantheon of powerful beings from beyond the stars, the Great Old Ones--among them Cthulhu, the sleeper beneath the sea.Since Lovecraft's time the Cthulhu Mythos has grown exponentially and has become increasingly difficult to keep track of, even for devoted fans. Many writers have contributed to it, including Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, Stephen King, and Brian Lumley. This book is the largest comprehensive guide to H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos ever published.
