Providing insight into the famed Cthulhu mythos of H P Lovecraft as well as the countless mythical threats that creep among Earth's population, this comprehensive handbook explores the transdimensional beings, subterranean creatures, and fantastical beasts that lurk in the corners of time. From encounters with Barnabas Marsh and Wilbur Whateley to dangerous seaside communities, this witty exploration covers the multitude of imaginary dangers, escape options, and chances of survival when confronting these horrors. Shoggoths, Nightgaunts, ghouls, and Cthulhu all have ventured into popular culture in the form of cuddly toys, but as this entertaining overview proves, these monsters are not so warm and fuzzy when met face-to-face, face-to-muzzle, or face-to-tentacles. Authoritative and hilarious, this 'survival guide' sheds light on the mysterious and often unimaginable world of Cthulhu.

I had to wait five months for this book, but boy was it worth the wait! Whether you are an ardent Mythos fan or just a casual HPL reader, this book is outstanding. It is obviously well researched, well written and informative, but most of all filled with in jokes and advice, (mostly consisting of running away and screaming!). I for one will be writing to the publisher immediatly asking for a sequel. Enjoy, laugh and start running!

All You Ever Needed to Know About The Mythos (But Were Afraid to Ask) with added humour
4 Aug 2011

Format:Paperback
That's best way to describe this, the humour inserted in this, adds to the already great retelling of major stories by Lovecraft. It touches on everything including Dunwich, Miskatonic, Herbert West and more. The sheer hilarity I've had reading this --- not yet finished--- but loving it. Makes it a worthy installment for all Lovecraft fans.

I love my kindle but this is one of those books that may well be better in paper. The content was good, quite funny in places but what in print would be amusing side notes and anecdotes kept appearing in the body of the text making it quite surreal to read at times.
