Description du livre
This Anthology of Cthulhu Mythos brings together 25 stories from two of the most influential authors in the horror genre, H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. Their work is central to the development of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a shared universe of cosmic horror where ancient, godlike entities shape human fate.
The collection includes Lovecraft's iconic tales such as The Call of Cthulhu, which introduced readers to the terrifying sea-dwelling creature and the cult that worships it, and At the Mountains of Madness, a chilling exploration of ancient civilizations in the Antarctic. These stories are lauded for their eerie atmosphere and the sense of existential dread they evoke.
Complementing Lovecraft’s works, Robert E. Howard contributes stories like The Shadow Kingdom and The Haunter of the Ring, merging his flair for action and adventure with the unsettling elements of the Mythos. Howard’s tales are packed with intense action, blending his sword-and-sorcery style with the dark, supernatural themes of Lovecraft’s universe.
This anthology is a must-read for fans of horror and speculative fiction, offering a deep dive into the nightmarish worlds that have influenced generations of readers and writers. The combination of Lovecraft’s cosmic horror and Howard’s vivid imagination creates a compelling and terrifying journey into the unknown.
