There's more songs based on Cthulhu then just those, shit's everywhere lol
can you give me a brief summary? im looking for new books
I would but I can't accurately explain it anymore since it's been about 6 years since I read it. But from what I remember it's def interesting but can be hard to read at times because of the early 1900's style it's written in
are they in a series? which order should i read them?
From Amazon.com:
H.P. Lovecraft, was an American author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction, known then simply as weird fiction. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror; the idea that life is incomprehensible to human minds and that the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fiction featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Christian humanism.

Most of them are short stories and they put a bunch of them in one book. I'd tell you the stories in this one but the site doesn't list it. But it is 375 pages
