Cover & Table of Contents Unveiled for The Book of Cthulhu ed. by Ross E. Lockhart

Art by Obrotowy. Design by Claudia Noble.
Cthulhu is coming.

Well to be more precise coming this September is The Book of Cthulhu from first time anthologist Ross E. Lockhart attempting to collect some of the best modern fiction related to H.P. Lovecraft's creation. The cover art  by Obrotowy is perfect for the collection with a depiction of Cthulhu right out of Lovecraft's head and a superb type treatment.  Here is the blurb to get us going:
Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

First described by visionary author H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu mythos encompass a pantheon of truly existential cosmic horror: Eldritch, uncaring, alien god-things, beyond mankind's deepest imaginings, drawing ever nearer, insatiably hungry, until one day, when the stars are right....

As that dread day, hinted at within the moldering pages of the fabled Necronomicon, draws nigh, tales of the Great Old Ones: Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Hastur, Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and the weird cults that worship them have cross-pollinated, drawing authors and other dreamers to imagine the strange dark aeons ahead, when the dead-but-dreaming gods return.

Now, intrepid anthologist Ross E. Lockhart has delved deep into the Cthulhu canon, selecting from myriad mind-wracking tomes the best sanity-shattering stories of cosmic terror. Featuring fiction by many of today's masters of the menacing, macabre, and monstrous, The Book of Cthulhu goes where no collection of Cthulhu mythos tales has before: to the very edge of madness... and beyond!

Do you dare open The Book of Cthulhu? Do you dare heed the call?
The Book of Cthulhu was originally slated to be edited by John Joseph Adams, but he left the project early on with Lockhart taking over as he is Night Shade's Managing Editor.
