  • For more than 80 years H.P. Lovecraft has inspired writers of supernatural
    fiction, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and gaming. His themes of cosmic
    indifference, the utter insignificance of humankind, minds invaded by the alien,
    and the horrors of history — written with a pervasive atmosphere of
    unexplainable dread — remain not only viable motifs, but 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.
  • In the first decade of the twenty-first century the best supernatural
    writers no longer imitate Lovecraft, but they are profoundly influenced by the
    genre and the mythos he created. New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird presents
    some of the best of this new Lovecraftian fiction — bizarre, subtle,
    atmospheric, metaphysical, psychological, filled with strange creatures and
    stranger characters — eldritch, unsettling, evocative, and darkly
    appealing.
