The Cthulhu Mythos was first created by H.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937)¸ a Providence author considered by many to be the finest horror story writer of the twentieth century. Lovecraft's tales are a blend of fantasy¸ science fiction¸ and horror¸ with the latter being especially prominent. His tales describe a pantheon of powerful beings known as the Great Old Ones. Since Lovecraft's time the Cthulhu Mythos has grown exponentially¸ until it has become increasingly difficult to keep track of¸ even for devoted fans. Many writers have contributed to it¸ including Robert E. Howard¸ Robert Bloch¸ Brian Lumley¸ and Stephen King. This book is the first major attempt in many years to provide a comprehensive guide to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The second edition of Encyclopedia Cthulhiana contains over a hundred and fifty additional pages and scores of new entries. New features includes thumbnail illustrations of the most important signs and symbols (see sample¸ left) and a timeline of the Cthulhu Mythos spanning billions of years. Many entries have been revised to reflect our latest understanding of the Mythos¸ and the infamous Necronomicon appendix has been greatly expanded. Also present for the first time is 'A Brief History of the Cthulhu Mythos'¸ which examines the evolution of the genre from the 1920s to today. A Great Resource for Call of Cthulhu players!
