H.P. Lovecraft – författare

Antarktis. Ett ödsligt landskap av frusna vidder och ting man helst glömmer. Det här är William Dyers berättelse. Professor vid Miskatonics universitet och ledaren för den olycksaliga expedition som gav sig av till den mest otillgängliga kontinenten av dem alla. Genom en rad brev får vi följa en historia om märkliga fynd och fruktansvärda händelser. Vilka mörka hemligheter ruvar under isen och vad är de underliga strukturer som skymtas invid de hisnande uråldriga berg som syns vid horisonten? Dyerexpeditionen tar sig dit ingen annan någonsin nått, och betalar det slutgiltiga priset för det.

H.P. Lovecrafts roman Vid vansinnets berg, först utgiven 1936, är en av den amerikanska skräcklitteraturens största klassiker. Det är den mest ambitiösa berättelse som Lovecraft skrev och har utgjort en stor inspiration för filmmakare och författare genom åren. Det här är den första volymen av två.

François Baranger, illustratör som tidigare arbetat med film och spel, fascinerades tidigt av Lovecrafts varelser och visioner som befolkar fantasins allra mörkaste skrymslen. Tidigare har han illustrerat Cthulhu vaknar. Det här är hans mest ambitiösa verk hittills.

WIKIPEDIA says: ''H.P. Lovecraft''s reputation has grown tremendously over the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most important horror writers of the 20th century, exerting an influence that is widespread, though often indirect.'' His tales of the tentacled Elder God Cthulhu and his pantheon of alien deities were initially written for the pulp magazines of the 1920s and ''30s. These astonishing tales blend elements of horror, science fiction and cosmic terror that are as powerful today as they were when they were first published.

THE NECRONOMICON collects together the very best of Lovecraft''s tales of terror, including the complete Cthulhu Mythos cycle, just the way they were originally published. It will introduce a whole new generation of readers to Lovecraft''s fiction, as well as being a must-buy for those fans who want all his work in a single, definitive volume.

Following on from the phenomenal success of NECRONOMICON comes ELDRITCH TALES. Howard Phillips Lovecraft died at the age of 47, but in his short life he turned out dozens of stories which changed the face of horror. His extraordinary imagination spawned both the Elder God Cthulhu and his eldritch cohorts, and the strangely compelling town of Innsmouth, all of which feature within these pages. This collection gathers together the rest of Lovecraft''s rarely seen but extraordinary short fiction, including the whole of the long-out-of-print collection FUNGI FROM YOGGOTH. Many of these stories have never been available in the UK!Stephen Jones, one of the world''s foremost editors of dark fiction, will complete the Lovecraft story in his extensive afterword, and award-winning artist Les Edwards will provide numerous illustrations for this must-have companion volume to NECRONOMICON.
