"The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century''s most
singularly recognizable literary creations.
Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his
amorphous contemporaries (the so-called ""Lovecraft
Circle""), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a
convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most
prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most
astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their
seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the
weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.
From weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The
Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction has been a
major cultural meme throughout the 20th century, and how
this type of story is still salient, and terribly powerful
today. "
