Myths of Cthulhu: Corruption and Other Stories

Myths of Cthulhu. A whole 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 Old Ones — unknowable eternal beings, infused with boundless malice (or complete indifference?) to mortals — is almost constantly open. A universe where an unceasing struggle between Light and Darkness takes place. For there is no end to the Dark Gods, and great is the power of Cthulhu. Listen, and you will hear his voice. This voice has sounded in the ears of many talented writers — Robert Ervin Howard and Clark Ashton Smith, August 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 — however, 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 in the genre, Brian Lumley.
