Jonathan Thomas Bücher

H. P. Lovecraft schrieb 1926 »Der Ruf des Cthulhu« und begründete damit den Cthulhu-Mythos, eines der am häufigsten nachgeahmten Weltenuniversen in der Weird Fiction. Schon zu seinen Lebzeiten haben viele andere Autoren den Mythos erweitert, und nach seinem Tod haben Hunderte von Autoren die grundlegenden Themen und Ideen Lovecrafts auf ihre ganz eigene Weise weiterentwickelt. Dieser Band enthält einige der besten Cthulhu-Mythos-Erzählungen von Autoren wie Donald Tyson, Jonathan Thomas und Lois H. Gresh aber auch Raritäten wie die Story von Mearle Prout aus dem klassischen Weird Tales Magazin. Dies ist der zweite von sechs Bänden, herausgegeben von S. T. Joshi, die führende Autorität in Sachen H. P. Lovecraft. Er ist der Autor der Biographie I AM PROVIDENCE: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft.

Silas Hunt begibt sich in Haddamville auf die Spur einer alten Geschichte über einen verlassenen Friedhof. Dabei wird er von drei parasitären Geistern übernommen, die ihn durch verschiedene Zeitalter führen. Zudem gibt es eine mysteriöse Macht, die über die Jahrhunderte nach ihnen greift.
