Cthulhu Mythos. An entire universe created by the greatest visionary writer of the first half of the 20th century - Howard Phillips Lovecraft. A universe where the path between the human world and the world of the Great Ancients - unknowable eternal beings, imbued with boundless malice (or complete indifference?) towards mortals - is open almost constantly. A universe where there is a constant struggle between Light and Darkness. For the Dark Gods are countless, and the power of Cthulhu is great. Listen and you will hear his voice. This voice has sounded in the ears of many talented writers - Robert Irwin Howard and Clark Ashton Smith, Auguste Derleth and Lin Carter, Henry Kuttner and Alan Dean Foster, Colin Wilson and Ramsey Campbell, Robert Bloch and Thomas Ligotti, Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, but few of them were able to convey what they heard as fully as the recognized master of horror literature, winner of the World Fantasy Award and the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement, Brian Lumley.
