Riassunto

From the depths of R'lyeh come twenty-one brand-new, utterly terrifying, and thoroughly entertaining short stories of horror and the macabre! 

Taking their inspiration from works by 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 H.P. Lovecraft created and taking them in new directions.

The result is stories that are wholly original, some even featuring Lovecraft himself as a character. Black Wings editor S.T. Joshi is the recognized authority on all things Lovecraftian, and is famous for his restorations of Lovecraft's original works. He has assembled a star-studded line-up in a book that is essential for every horror library.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"The diversity on display in Black Wings is what makes the collection so enticing. Running the gamut from old-fashioned homage to contemporary nail-biter, all the stories smolder with the ghostly essence of Lovecraft." --Bloody Disgusting

"It's damn near perfect. Go get it immediately" --Dread Central

"Likely to be the best read of the year." --Brutal as Hell

"A flawless 10 out of 10." --cthutube

" To say I thoroughly enjoyed this collection would be an understatement of epic proportions. Each story is worthy of the admission fee alone, so collected here in this tome (book seems a wholly inappropriate word when dealing with Cthulhu Mythos) they are entirely worthy of your time! --Geeklore

" These twenty-one stories are diverse enough to offer something for everyone... Those readers wanting dark glimpses of the madness beyond human comprehension will find many shards of illumination in this bulky compendium of cosmic horrors and alien miscegenation. --Horrorview.com

"A true homage to a master of creepy story-telling." --TG Daily

"Coming in at just over 500 pages, it was S.T. Joshi's name on the cover that made me take the plunge. By the time the book was over, I was craving 500 more pages." --Horror Talk

"This reprint for the masses is a splendid tribute to the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft. With their unique riffs on the man and his literary legacy, the writers gathered in this anthology dream deliciously darkly, indeed." --Hellnotes

The twenty-on stories in Black Wings of Cthulhu are unique, sometimes puzzling, but very successfully manage to remain fresh in their interpretations of the Lovecraftian mood. --Lynne Jamneck
