{"product_id":"eternal-lovecraft","title":"Eternal Lovecraft: The Persistence of HPL in Popular Culture","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\"Und hier — Azathoth!\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this anthology, eighteen contributors offer stories cast in their own interpretations of the enduring and expansive mythos of H. P. Lovecraft. Harlan Ellison, Stephen King, Fritz Leiber, Ron Goulart, Robert Charles Wilson, and others revisit Lovecraft’s world of ancient evils, forbidden knowledge, cosmic entities, and humanity’s precarious place in an incomprehensibly larger universe. The collection ranges from direct extensions of the mythos to parody and more oblique variations on Lovecraftian horror, demonstrating how readily his peculiar imaginative universe could be adapted to other voices and settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Golden Gryphon Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditor: Jim Turner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover with dust jacket, under mylar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePagination: 411 numbered pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: Dark teal buckram over boards, gilt lettering on spine.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN: 9780965590174\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Good to very good, ex-library.

The invocation ostensibly appears in his oft-cited (imaginary) book, \u003cem\u003eUnaussprechlichen Kulten\u003c\/em\u003e, also known as \u003cem\u003eNameless Cults\u003c\/em\u003e or the Black Book, a work whose lore has been woven deeply into the Lovecraftian Mythos.
