Mythology of Lovecraft. From Cthulhu and Cosmic Horror to Necronomicon and Forbidden Cults

Before you is a guide to the world of mythology and philosophy
of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, whose work became
the foundation of modern horror. You are in for an exciting
journey from the dark streets of Providence, where the writer was born,
to the pantheon of his fictional gods — Cthulhu,
Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, and other Ancient Ones. You will learn
what inspired Lovecraft in creating his own
mythology, how his concept of «cosmic horror»
changed the genre, and why the «Cthulhu Mythos» became cult classics.
