Esta colección se centra en dos de los relatos más famosos de H.P. Lovecraft: la novela corta La llamada de Cthulhu y el inquietante cuento El horror de Dunwich.
En La llamada de Cthulhu, obra seminal del horror cósmico, un joven recompone la extraña colección de notas, artefactos e investigaciones de su difunto tío, que apuntan a la existencia de un ser monstruoso a la espera de emerger de su letargo submarino. El joven, a medida que profundiza en la obsesión de su tío por el legendario Cthulhu, empieza a descubrir un terrorífico culto global con siniestros planes que amenazan a la humanidad.
En la misma línea, El horror de Dunwich es un relato ambientado en el aislado y decadente pueblo de Dunwich; la historia sigue los extraños sucesos que rodean a la familia Whateley, que tiene inquietantes vínculos con una presencia invisible y monstruosa que acecha entre las remotas colinas y bosques.
Cuando el misterioso y deforme Wilbur Whateley nace y crece rápidamente hasta la edad adulta, los habitantes del pueblo presienten que algo siniestro está en marcha. Los rumores se arremolinan sobre oscuros rituales en lo profundo de los bosques y libros prohibidos con terribles secretos. A medida que los planes de Wilbur para su hermano invisible salen a la luz, nadie sospecha la verdadera naturaleza del horror que amenaza con desatarse.
Este volumen pone de relieve la brillante imaginación de Lovecraft y su don para elaborar terroríficos relatos de lo macabro, que cobran nueva vida en esta traducción actualizada.

About the author










H. P. Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1890, and spent the majority of his life there. Early in his career, he produced a large number of essays and poetry, but after the launch of the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1923, to which he supplied the majority of his fiction, he progressively turned his attention to creating horror stories. His very tiny body of work-three short novels and roughly sixty short stories-has nevertheless had a significant impact on later work in the genre, and he is considered the foremost American writer of supernatural fiction of the twentieth century. In 1937, H. P. Lovecraft passed away in Providence. Lovecraft has always had a fascination with science, but his lifelong ill health stopped him from going to college. He spent the majority of his life in solitude and abject poverty while earning a job as a ghostwriter and story writer. His literary reputation grew after his passing. Weird Tales published the majority of Lovecraft's short stories beginning in 1923. His Cthulhu Mythos collection of tales portrays encounters between regular New Englanders and scary extraterrestrial beings. He combines his in-depth knowledge of New England's geography and culture in these short stories.
