Beyond Lovecraft: An Anthology of Fiction Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos

Written by Frank Forte (Lovecraft Country, Conjuring 3, Insidious: The Last Key, Heavy Metal Magazine), this collection of terrifying tales takes us to the edge of the world of H.P. Lovecraft and beyond. Lovecraft's fantastical creatures and supernatural thrills, as well as many horrific and cautionary science-fiction themes, have influenced some of today's most acclaimed writers and filmmakers, including Stephen King, Alan Moore, F. Paul Wilson, Guillermo del Toro, and Neil Gaiman. His books have inspired countless artists, novelists, video game creators, board game creators, comic book creators and feature film directors.

This anthology features 12 new horror stories inspired by Lovecraft's “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward,” "The Call of Cthulhu," "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath," "At the Mountains of Madness," "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," "The Color Out of Space," "The Dunwich Horror," "Re-Animator", "From Beyond" and many more hair-raising tales.
