Black Wings of Cthulhu (Volume Six)

Description

Volume 6 in the successful and critically acclaimed series of Lovecraftian horror anthologies by the most prominent acolytes of the horror master. Twenty-two new short stories in the tradition of the famed writer H. P. Lovecraft, produced by a line-up of authors considered to be among his most skilled and dedicated acolytes. Authors include Caitlin R. Kiernan, William F. Nolan (creator of Logan's Run), Steve Rasnic Tem, Darrell Schweitzer, and Nancy Kilpatrick, and the stories range from books that represent the psychology of fear, hidden worlds that exist "around the corner" from our own, or a Lovecraftian take on the locked-room crime story.

S. T. Joshi is a leading authority on H. P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, H. L. Mencken, and others. He has edited the definitive restored editions of the works of Lovecraft, several annotated editions of Bierce and Mencken, and has written such critical studies as The Modern Weird Tale. His biography H. P. Lovecraft: A Life won the Horror Writer Association's Stoker Award for best-non fiction.
