Deliciously creepy, this loving tribute to the master of modern horror features riveting stories from his wicked progeny. H. P. Lovecraft created a wealth of legendary monstrosities a century ago, and this collection of stories reconnects with those imaginings: the massive, tentacled Cthulhu, who lurks beneath the sea waiting for his moment to rise; the demon Sultan Azathoth, who lies babbling at the center of the universe, mad beyond imagining; the Deep Ones, who come to shore to breed with mortal men; and the unspeakably-evil Hastur, whose very name brings death. Celebrating these famous beasts in all their grotesque glory, each story is a gripping new take on a classic mythos creature accompanied by an illuminating illustration. In one accursed tale, something unnatural slouches from the sea into an all-night diner to meet the foolish young woman waiting for him. In another storyline the Hounds of Tindalos struggle to survive trapped in human bodies, haunting pool halls for men they can lure into the dark. Strange, haunting, and undeniably monstrous, this is the best of Lovecraft's creatures—reawakened and re-imagined.

"Supernatural Noir is an anthology of original tales of the dark fantastic from twenty modern masters of suspense."--Page 4 of cover

Duchové jsou všude kolem nás. Duše zemřelých přicházející z druhého břehu jsou od nepaměti součástí našich mýtů a náboženství. K nejsilnějším a nejpůsobivějším představám lidské fantazie patří přízraky a zjevení z onoho světa zastřeného závojem smrti. Ellen Datlowová nám předkládá výbor dosud nevydaných, původních duchařských příběhů, při nichž čtenáře bude příjemně mrazit strachem. Požádala své oblíbené spisovatele, aby se zaměřili na příběhy vyvolávající hrůzu nebo nervozitu, které přimějí čtenáře nechat svítit lampičku, až půjdou spát. Spisovatelé, kteří vyhověli jejímu přání, představují hvězdnou skupinu vynikajících vypravěčů, osvědčených mistrů slova: Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Ford, Charles L. Grant, Glen Hirshberg, Kathe Kojaová, Tanith Leeová, Kelly Linková, Sharyn McCrumbová, Joyce Carol Oatesová, Lucius Shephard a Gahan Wilson. Strašidelně skvělí spisovatelé. Každý z nich napsal unikátní povídku naprosto odlišnou od všeho, co už bylo napsáno. A všichni vespolek vyvolali tak temná kouzla, že zcela jistě vzbudí děs nebo přinejmenším neklid i v těch nejotrlejších čtenářích.

The award-winning editors of Snow White, Blood Red return us to distinctly adult realms of myth and the fantastic -- with 18 wondrous works that cloak the magical fictions we heard at grandma's knee in mantles of darkness and dread.

Co vlastně chtějí... lidé?... celý text

Once upon a time, fairy tales were for children... But no longer. You hold in your hands a volume of wonders -- magical tales of trolls and ogres, of bewitched princesses and kingdoms accursed, penned by some of the most acclaimed fantasists of our day. But these are not bedtime stories designed to usher an innocent child gently into a realm of dreams. These are stories that bite -- lush and erotic, often dark and disturbing mystical journeys through a phantasmagoric landscape of distinctly adult sensibilities... where there is no such thing as "happily ever after."
