Product Description

Book Description

Contemporary visions of cosmic transformation, mutations and madness - many inspired directly by the life and writings of H.P. Lovecraft, others reflecting his strangely prescient themes in their own bizarre sub-texts. Here the primal beings of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos stalk a post-modern landscape of social collapse, ethnic cleansing, genetic engineering and nuclear devastation - nightmare prophecies from his pulp pages which have now come chillingly true. This oft maligned genius here receives the retrospective that has for so long been his due.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!Lovecraft would roll in his grave in disgust and delight, 4 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H.P. Lovecraft (Paperback)
Fantastic. Some of these stories are profoundly disturbing, taking the undertones of LOvecraft's work (sexual and otherwise) to incredible heights. Some stories are more like to his tales, while with most others the connection is more in shared ideas and currents of thought rather than any specific Mythos characters. In all a grand tribute to Lovecraft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oy vey. What Can I Say?, 21 Feb 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H.P. Lovecraft (Paperback)
Freaky visions of modern Lovecraft-esque stories, and deranged images which weld themselves to your brain. In no way a waste of paper, especially the diseased tale of Lovecraft's death and the graphic novel-format retelling of THE CALL OF CTHULHU! A must-eat for any cthonian creeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best tenner you will spend, 20 April 2008
By L. G. Burton "Misery Guts" (Isle of Wight) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H.P. Lovecraft (Paperback)
They have re printed this book now with what I think is an inferior cover and the copy I saw had print problems......get this book now! Ten quid!!!!! It's worth the price alone of the Call of Cthulhu illustrated story! It sets a bench mark for genuinely alien Mythos landscapes and scans almost like a film story board. And it was the book that led me onto reading W S Burroughs full catalogue. BUY IT NOW!
