Black Wings: New Tales of Lovecraftian Horror

By S.T. Joshi

Book Overview

THE ULTIMATE LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR ANTHOLOGY: From the depths of R'lyeh come 21 "exceptional" and utterly terrifying horror short stories inspired by H.P. Lovecraft (Kirkus)

Taking their inspiration from works by H.P. Lovecraft himself, prominent writers such as Caitlin R. Kiernan, Brian Stableford, Ramsey Campbell, Michael Shea, Darrell Schweitzer, Donald R. Burleson, and David J. Schow delve deep into the psyche, expanding on concepts Lovecraft created and taking them in new directions.

The result is this horror anthology featuring wholly original horror short stories--some even featuring Lovecraft himself. Editor S.T. Joshi is the recognized authority on all things Lovecraftian, famous for his restorations of Lovecraft's original works.

Black Wings of Cthulhu No 1

This is the first in the series of collected short stories of the Cthulhu Mythos chosen by S. T. Joshi. I have the original hardcover version, which I got some years ago and I like it very much. Joshi has a real love for this genre and a knack for picking out good stories. More to come when I find my copy of the book
