Book Giveaway For The Book of Cthulhu

[close] Enter to win one of seven signed copies of The Book of Cthulhu, coming in September from Night Shade Books.

First described by visionary author H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu mythos encompass a pantheon of truly existential cosmic horror: Eldritch, uncaring, alien god-things, beyond mankind's deepest imaginings, drawing ever nearer, insatiably hungry, until one day, when the stars are right....

Now that day has come, Cthulhu and the Elder Gods have risen. Anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has selected twenty-seven of the best sanity-shattering stories of tentacles, terror, and madness from some of the biggest names in horror and fantastic fiction, including Ramsey Campbell, Charles Stross, Kage Baker, Joe R. Lansdale, Elizabeth Bear, Thomas Ligotti, Cherie Priest, John Langan, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Gene Wolfe, Ann K. Schwader, and David Drake. Not only does this doorstop-thick anthology draw from the best Cthulhu mythos tales of the last thirty years, but it also brings two brand new stories to the table: Shirley Jackson Award-winning author Laird Barron’s “The Men from Porlock,” a menacing combination of lumberjacks and cosmic horror, and John Hornor Jacobs’ “The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife,” an strange and macabre take on Lovecraft’s “The Shadow over Innsmouth.”

The Book of Cthulhu goes where no collection of Cthulhu mythos tales has before: to the very edge of madness... and beyond! [close]
