P. Lovecraft’s influence in culture, entertainment, and fiction. The expansive entries make this reference invaluable for anyone knowledgeable about the Cthulhu Mythos and a much-needed resource for those longing to learn about the cosmic horrors from past and present decades. Review: this book is highly recommended. The information in this book is great for ... - This is a necessary resource for anyone serious about the Cthulhu Mythos. Whether you are a writer, gamer or an enthusiast of HP Lovecraft and other horrors, this book is highly recommended. The information in this book is great for creating plot hooks, or what stories to search for to learn more about a specific topic for further exploration. Need to find out more about Ubbo-Sathla to write a time travel story about wizards? Look up Ubbo-Sathla, find out that Clark Ashton Smith wrote Ubbo-Sathla, and that god is mentioned in the Book of Eibon. You'll find an appendices about the Necronomicon. More importantly Dan Harms included a guide on how to handle and use others intellectual property from a non-legalistic standpoint, but more from a standpoint of being ethically creative while respecting to the continuity. Somewhere in storage I have the second edition of this book, but I have a digital copy on my iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. For my podcast I find this to be a great resource. Unfortunately I have occasionally ran across instances where Mr. Harms references a story that is no longer in print and hard to find(even after contacting the author or the story). That would be my only gripe. Otherwise this is wonderful, also I am happy that it is a book that covers literature as well as RPG source material due to the fact that the two have become intertwined in the last 30+ years. I am also thankful that the book doesn't rely on any goofy lovecraftian tricks, spooky typefaces or faux-aged paper. It's nice to have some people take this space monster business seriously. Review: a really handy Lovecraftian reference resource - I'm glad I got this book. It's a straight-up reference book, and that includes annotations so you know which author(s) used whatever beast, location, etc. I really appreciated that because that means I get to read novels, short stories, and novellas I'd not already ready or in many cases even known about. The only thing I'd like for the book to have included was some illustrations, and that's a small quibble. -- For the money, this book's a really good one to have on your horror shelf. Recommended. 9/10 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,424,216 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #302 in Literature Encyclopedias #403 in Literary History & Criticism Reference #506 in Science Fiction History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 499 Reviews | ## Images ![The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DCDxwjYGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this book is highly recommended.
