Book Overview
"Some stories are more explicitlyLovecraftian than others, but all demonstrate how Lovecraft's dark mythologycontinues to inspire outstanding tales of modern horror." - Publisher'sWeekly
Many of the best weird fiction writers (andcreators in most other media) have been profoundly influenced by the genre andthe mythos H.P. Lovecraft created eight decades ago. Lovecraft's themes ofcosmic indifference, minds invaded by the alien, and the horrors of history -written with a pervasive atmosphere of unexplainable dread - are more relevantthan ever as we explore the mysteries of a universe in which our planet isinfinitesimal and climatic change is overwhelming it.
A few years ago, New Cthulhu: The RecentWeird presented some of the best of this new Lovecraftian fiction from thefirst decade of the twenty-first century. Now, New Cthulhu 2: More RecentWeird brings you more eldritch tales and even fresher fiction inspired byLovecraft.

New Cthulhu 2 More Recent Weird
Published by C. L. Rossman , 2 years ago
Can't get enough of the Sleeper from R'lyeh, and modern writers keep pumping out the stories. This is Paula Guran's second such anthology and I really have to get the first one. Well-know mythos writers such as Brian Hodge and Laird Barron, W. H. Pugmire And Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette along with thrilling new writers, also love the Grand Old Rogue and have put together a nice, thick anthology of stories about the dark realm. From carnivorous unicorns to savage human destruction of Devil Reef, this anthology has a wide range of offerings.
