H. P. Lovecraft's Tales in the Cthulhu Mythos - A Collection of Short Stories (Fantasy and Horror Classics): With a Dedication by George Henry Weiss

The stars are aligning. The Great Old Ones are stirring. And the world will never be the same.

This definitive collection plunges directly into the Cthulhu Mythos, the vast, interconnected universe of alien entities, forbidden books, and cosmic horror created by H. P. Lovecraft. These are the foundational tales that reveal the terrifying truth: humanity is a fleeting accident, and the universe is governed by monstrous, omnipotent intelligences waiting just beyond the edges of reality.

Within this volume, you will find the essential narratives that define the Mythos, featuring:

•

The Call of Cthulhu: The seminal story that introduced the colossal, slumbering entity Cthulhu and the global conspiracy of his devoted, terrifying cult. •

•

The Shadow Over Innsmouth: A descent into the decaying coastal town where the locals hide a grotesque, hereditary secret--a pact with the Deep Ones, an amphibious race from the abyssal trenches. •

•

The Dunwich Horror: The chilling saga of a deformed mutant born of an unthinkable union, who seeks to unleash its colossal, unseen father upon the world. •

•

The Whisperer in Darkness: A terrifying investigation into strange legends and bizarre creatures in the Vermont hills, leading to the discovery of the extraterrestrial Mi-Go and their horrifying experiments. •

Also featuring essential stories like The Nameless City and The Thing on the Doorstep, this collection is the perfect guide to the most enduring and frightening mythology of the 20th century.

Republished as part of the Fantasy and Horror Classics imprint in a new edition complete with a dedication by George Henry Weiss, these tales confirm that the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown--especially when that unknown is about to break through.
