About the book: 2023 / "Life is a terrible thing, and from individual devilish hints that reach us from the abyss of the unknown, we can guess what really , everything is a thousand times worse,” said Howard Lovecraft, who knew the nature of human fear better than others. The founder of the horror genre wrote the main story of his life in 1926. Subsequently, "Call of Cthulhu" turned into a literary universe inhabited by ghosts from nightmares. Not everyone will like such a meeting. Anyone who dares to face his own fears will also come to know himself. But often this knowledge frightens and disappoints, because, as the writer said, “if we knew who we really are, we would act like Sir Arthur Jermyn, who one evening doused himself with a flammable mixture and put a match to his clothes.” Suggested The publication represents the most complete collection of Lovecraft's horrors from the Cthulhu universe. The publication is illustrated with drawings from Weird Tales magazine, the creation of which was personally supervised by the writer, as well as paintings by great artists who inspired Howard Phillips when writing the most terrible and true stories that we are so afraid to encounter in our dreams, but are so looking for them in real life.
