description: For more than eighty years H.P. Lovecraft has inspired writers of supernatural fiction artists musicians filmmakers and gamers. His themes of cosmic indifference the utter insignificance of humankind minds invaded by the alien and the horrors of historywritten with a pervasive atmosphere of unexplainable dreadremain not only viable motifs but are more relevant than ever as we explore the mysteries of a universe in which our planet is infinitesimal and climatic change is overwhelming it. In the early twenty-first century the best supernatural writers no longer imitate Lovecraft but they are profoundly influenced by the genre and the mythos he created. New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird presents some of the best of this new Lovecraftian fictionbizarre subtle atmospheric metaphysical psychological filled with strange creatures and stranger characterseldritch unsettling evocative and darkly appealing.
