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 ï¬nally been laid bare, providing this maligned genius with a long-overdue retrospective and revealing him to be a true prophet of the 20th century. This special ebook edition includes the very best fiction from both volumes of The Starry Wisdom, with a total of 29 stories. Authors include ALANˆMOORE, GRANTˆMORRISON , D.M. MITCHELL, ROBERT M. PRICE , DONˆWEBB, DAVIDˆCONWAY, and many others.
