The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia
Explore the definitive guide to the Cthulhu mythos—from Azathoth to Zylac.
The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana is an essential resource for cosmic horror enthusiasts, gamers, and researchers. Learn the origins of the gods and monsters from the pantheons of H.P. Lovecraft and beyond. Gaze upon the detailed images of the elder gods. And unlock the history of the Necronomicon—if you dare!
Dan Harms has assembled:
- Detailed entries on mythos deities, creatures, tomes, and objects, including their appearances in fiction and popular culture.
- An in-depth essay on “What is the Cthulhu Mythos?” by author Dan Harms.
- Evocative illustrations of major mythos creatures including Nyarlathotep, Hastur, and Cthulhu itself.
- Timelines of the Necronomicon and the Cthulhu Mythos.
- An extensive bibliography of cosmic horror texts.
There have been earlier editions of this compendium of forbidden knowledge, but now the tome is expanded to an unspeakable size and has packed to its Innsmouthian-gills with even more lore and knowledge, cross-referenced by a master. It's a great tool for gamers, but really, it's indispensable for anyone who enjoys delving into the nooks and crannies of Lovecraft's Yog-Sothothery.
Note - this book is NOT specifically tied to the role playing game, Call of Cthulhu®. This is an all-purpose reference for fans of Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. While filled with terrific artwork, it does not contain gaming statistics nor is it drawn from supplements for the game. This volume uses the published fiction of a variety of authors as its source material.
Dig deep into the secrets of the Cthulhu mythos in the Encyclopedia Cthulhiana. But be warned, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing…
