Lovecraft Lesebuch
"Die ganze Erde ist ein gefährdeter Ort, nur mühsam erleuchtet vom schwachen Flämmchen einer Vernunft, auf die der Mensch übermäßig stolz ist; ein Eiland trügerischer Sicherheit, stets bedroht vom Hereinbrechen ungeheuerlicher Wesen, die vor Äonen über die Erde herrschten. Der Mensch erscheint als fremdes Wesen in einer Welt, die nicht für ihn geschaffen ist."

The Dunwich Horror
In Dunwich, a remote village in Massachusetts, lost in the depths of an inhospitable countryside with dark valleys invaded by brambles, the old stories of witches are still alive and strange subterranean noises resound at times under the hills surmounted by mysterious circles of stones.On an isolated farm in the region, Lavinia Whateley, a simple-minded albino, gives birth to a child, Wilbur, whose father is unknown. Old Whateley, Lavinia's father, raises Wilbur while arousing the suspicion of the neighboring inhabitants who are frightened by the speed of growth of the child and his repulsive facies. Rumors of witchcraft have always swirled about Old Whateley, and after his death, Wilbur, upon reaching adulthood, became determined to increase the unholy knowledge imparted to him. To reach his goal, he goes to the Miskatonic University of Arkham to borrow the copy of the sinister Necronomicon in their possession. Professor Armitage, understanding the malevolent intentions of his visitor, refuses to accede to his request; thus a captivating illustrated version is born.Always fascinated by the world of HP Lovecraft, François Baranger, an illustrator recognized worldwide for his talents as a concept artist for cinema and video games, has tackled the "cyclopean" task of putting his main stories into images.

The Call of Cthulhu
An unrelenting dive into cosmic horror, this seminal work introduces readers to the terrifying entity known as Cthulhu an ancient, godlike being sleeping beneath the Pacific Ocean, whose awakening promises madness and annihilation. Told through fragmented records, ship logs, archaeological notes, and forbidden cult testimonies, the story unfolds like a puzzle assembled by a doomed narrator. As the pieces come together, the terrifying truth emerges: the human mind is woefully unequipped to comprehend the full scale of the universe's indifference, The tale's layered structure and mythic overtones helped solidify Lovecraft's legacy as the master of cosmic dread. The Call of Cthulhu is not merely a horror storyit is a philosophical confrontation with our place in the cosmos, and a chilling reminder that some knowledge may come at the cost of sanity.

The Annotated Supernatural Horror in Literature
H. P. Lovecraft's "Supernatural Horror in Literature," first published in 1927, is widely recognized as the finest historical survey of horror literature ever written. The product of both a keen critical analyst and a working practitioner in the field, the essay affords unique insights into the nature, development, and history of the weird tale. Beginning with instances of weirdness in ancient literature, Lovecraft proceeds to discuss horror writing in the Renaissance, the first Gothic novels of the late 18th century, the revolutionary importance of Edgar Allan Poe, the work of such leading figures as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, and William Hope Hodgson, and the four "modern masters"-Arthur Machen, Lord Dunsany, Algernon Blackwood and M. R. James. In this annotated edition of Lovecraft's seminal work, acclaimed Lovecraft scholar S. T. Joshi has supplied detailed commentary on many points. In addition, Joshi has supplied a comprehensive bibliography of all the authors and works discussed in the essay, with references to modern editions and critical studies. For this new edition, Joshi has exhaustively revised and updated the bibliography and also revamped the notes to bring the book in line with the most up-to-date scholarship on Lovecraft and weird fiction. The entire volume has also been redesigned for ease of reading and reference. This latest edition will be invaluable both to devotees of Lovecraft and to enthusiasts of the weird tale.
