H.P. Lovecraft - The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales. B&N Decorative Leatherbound Edition with tipped in John Coulthart's famous 2004 poster, "Cthulhu Rising". Introduction by S.T. Joshi. A stunning form of presentation of the all-separately-published stories in the Cthulhu Mythos of the peerless H.P. Lovecraft - called "The Man Who Can Scare Stephen King", and of whom King said, I think it is beyond doubt that H. P. Lovecraft has yet to be surpassed as the twentieth centurys greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale. Lovecraft's innate sense of horror - he instilled his native, inescapable sense of dread in his fiction - is best, and most famously, embodied in the Cthulhu Mythos chain of stories.
Octavo, black background leather boards with illustrations and decorations in green and gilt on both covers and spine; spine ribbed; All Edges Gilt; endpapers illustrated (also by Coulthart); satin page-marker ribbon; xiii + 593 pp.+ 1 pp. About the Author. An extraordinarily handsome - and dread-inducing itself - decorative edition, the equal of any in Barnes and Noble's series of such editions. New, and flawless. Removed from publisher's shrink wrap only for scanning and description here; then placed in sealed storage, on premises, of course. That disassembled shrinkwrap with gold seal will accompany the book. See all scans.
