An outstanding anthology of original stories inspired by H. P. Lovecraft from authors who do not merely imitate, but reimagine, re-energize, and renew his concepts in ways relevant to today’s readers. Fresh new fiction that explores our modern fears and nightmares. From the depths of R’lyeh to the heights of the Mountains of Madness, some of today’s best weird fiction writers — both established award-winning authors and exciting new voices — THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF CTHULHU collects tales of cosmic horror that traverse terrain created by Lovecraft and create new eldritch geographies to explore . . .

Praise for the Editor's previous book New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird:
“For fans of Lovecraftian fiction and well-wrought horror”
-Library Journal
“Guran smartly selects stories that evoke the spirit of Lovecraft's work without mimicking its style.”
-Publishers Weekly
“It's a pretty impressive line-up, with nary a clunker to be found. . . . You don't have to be a Lovecraft fan to enjoy this anthology... You'll find alienation, inhumanity, desperation, cruelty, insanity, hopelessness and despair, all set against the backdrop of a vast, unknowable universe filled with vile, indifferent monstrosities. You'll also find beauty, hope, redemption, and the struggle for survival. What more can you ask for?”
-Tor.com
“I highly recommend this collection... If you have even the slightest interest in contemporary horror fiction, you'll want to try this one on for size!”
