The Mall of Cthulhu

In the category of funny Cthulhu novels THE MALL OF CTHULHU by Seamus Cooper doesn’t rank too high.

LAIRS OF THE HIDDEN GODS Vol. 2

This is the second of Kurodahan Press’ four volume LAIRS OF THE HIDDEN GODS anthology of Japanese Cthulhu Mythos, and, as with the first entry, it’s a first rate collection with excellent translations.

LAIRS OF THE HIDDEN GODS Volume 1

Here we have the first entry of a four volume English translation of this massive H.P. Lovecraft-inspired anthology, which initially appeared in Japan back in 2002.

THE KING IN YELLOW

I was indeed expecting far more from the collection THE KING IN YELLOW than what it contains–although I wasn’t entirely disappointed.

THE HAUNTER OF THE DARK

As the title indicates, it consists largely of H.P. Lovecraft-inspired dramatizations, together with many of Coulthart’s illustrations for Savoy’s infamous LORD HORROR series

DAGON

Among my absolute favorite horror novels, Fred Chappell’s DAGON looms large — a beautifully written, profoundly disturbing evocation of madness, obsession and transformation unlike anything else I’d read before (or since).
