Publisher's Synopsis
"Some stories are more explicitly
Lovecraftian than others, but all demonstrate how Lovecraft's dark mythology
continues to inspire outstanding tales of modern horror." - Publisher's
Weekly
Many of the best weird fiction writers (and
creators in most other media) have been profoundly influenced by the genre and
the mythos H.P. Lovecraft created eight decades ago. Lovecraft's themes of
cosmic indifference, minds invaded by the alien, and the horrors of history -
written with a pervasive atmosphere of unexplainable dread - are more relevant
than ever as we explore the mysteries of a universe in which our planet is
infinitesimal and climatic change is overwhelming it.
A few years ago, New Cthulhu : The Recent
Weird presented some of the best of this new Lovecraftian fiction from the
first decade of the twenty-first century. Now, New Cthulhu 2: More Recent
Weird brings you more eldritch tales and even fresher fiction inspired by
Lovecraft.
