description: This deliciously creepy and loving tribute to the master of modern horror features riveting illustrated stories of his wicked progeny.In the century since the master of horror H. P. Lovecraft published his first story the monstrosities that crawled out of his brain have become legend: the massive tentacled Cthulhu who lurks beneath the sea waiting for his moment to rise; the demon Sultan Azathoth who lies babbling at the center of the universe mad beyond imagining; the Deep Ones who come to shore to breed with mortal men; and the unspeakably-evil Hastur whose very name brings death. These creatures have been the nightmarish fuel for generations of horror writers and the inspiration for some of their greatest works.This impressive anthology celebrates Lovecraft's most famous beasts in all their grotesque glory with each story a gripping new take on a classic mythos creature and affectionately accompanied by an illuminating illustration. Within these accursed pages something unnatural slouches from the sea into an all-night diner to meet the foolish young woman waiting for him while the Hounds of Tindalos struggle to survive trapped in human bodies haunting pool halls for men they can lure into the dark. Strange haunting and undeniably monstrous this is Lovecraft as you have never seen him before.Table of ContentsOnly the End of the World Again by Neil GaimanThe Bleeding Shadow by Joe R.
