THE STARRY WISDOM
DM MITCHELL (EDITOR)

 

THE ORIGINAL H. P. LOVECRAFT TRIBUTE BOOK

Contemporary visions of cosmic transformation, mutation and madness – many inspired directly by the life and writings of H.P. Lovecraft, others reflecting his strangely presentient 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.

The undercurrents of sexual and ecological displacement which powered Lovecraft’s work have finally been laid bare, providing this maligned genius with a long-overdue retrospective and revealing him to be a true prophet of the 20th century.
