Cthulhu on kulttikirjailija H. P. Lovecraftin (1890-1937) tunnetuin hahmo, joka astui ensi kerran kirjallisuuden näyttämölle tämän kokoelman niminovellissa Cthulhun kutsussa. Se oli alku laajaksi kasvaneelle, kauhukirjallisuuteen ja populaarikulttuuriin mittaamattomasti vaikuttaneelle tarustolle jumalolento Cthulhusta, suurten muinaisten ylipapista. Cthulhun kutsu -kirja kokoaa yksiin kansiin 13 Lovecraftinkeskeistä Cthulhu-tarinaa. Mukana ovat muun muassa Rotatseinissä, Kuiskaus pimeässä, Kammottu talo, Olio kynnyksellä ja Vainooja pimeydestä. Cthulhun kutsun on koonnut ja siihen esipuheen on kirjoittanut Markku Sadelehto. Kirja on rinnakkaisteos H. P. Lovecraftin parhaat -kokoelmalle, joka sisältää Lovecraftin parhaat pienoisromaanit ja pitkät novellit - mukaan lukien Cthulhu-aiheiset Varjo Innsmouthin yllä ja Väri avaruudesta - sekä Kauhujen kabinetti -teokselle, joka kokoaa yhteen Lovecraftin hyytävimpiä lyhyitä kauhunovelleja.

H. P. Lovecraft's literary career ended very much the way it began-with amateur journalism. In 1914, he had entered the United Amateur Press Association and gained lifelong friends and a renewed will to live and write. In 1930, Lovecraft's attendance at the annual convention of the National Amateur Press Association led to a renewed interest in the multifarious issues agitating amateurdom at that time. Encouraged by a new colleague, Helm C. Spink, Lovecraft took on the role of poetry critic for the NAPA's Bureau of Critics. Hyman Bradofsky, whose Californian allowed an unprecedented amount of space for lengthy contributions, persuaded Lovecraft to write numerous articles and to steer other amateurs in Bradofsky's direction. Lovecraft then became embroiled in heated controversies and feuds, many of them revolving around the argumentative Ralph W. Babcock. This volume also includes substantial letters to devotees of weird fiction, including Richard Ely Morse, Margaret Sylvester, John J. Weir, and a pair of brilliant weird artists, Virgil Finlay and Frank Utpatel. As in previous volumes in this series, all letters have been meticulously edited and thoroughly annotated. The appendix includes a generous array of poetry by Morse along with other materials that shed light on all the issues discussed here.

LOVECRAFT [1890-1937], född i Providence, Rhode Island, var en amerikansk författare känd för sina skräck-, fantasy- och science fiction- noveller. Båda Lovecrafts föräldrar led av psykisk ohälsa, vilket kom att prägla hans ungdom. Han började skriva tidigt men hade en begränsad läsarskara under sin livstid. I dag betraktas Lovecraft som en ikon inom populärkulturen och anses vara en av 1900-talets mest inflytelserika och nyskapande skräckförfattare, ofta jämförd med Edgar Allan Poe.

DIE ALLERSCHLIMMSTEN HORRORGESCHICHTEN In der Gruft von H. P. Lovecraft (erschienen1925), Das Klappern der Knochen von Robert E. Howard (erschienen 1929), Die Affenpfote von W. W. Jacobs (erschienen 1902) Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts hatten Schauergeschichten, wie auch Science Fiction oder Mystery, in Form von Kurzgeschichten, ihre Bl tezeit. Mehr als das, es wurden die Grundlagen f r das Genre gelegt. Immer popul rer, besonders in den 1930er bis 1950er-Jahren, wurden spezielle Magazine, wie 'Weird Tales', oft auch als Pulp Fiction (kurz 'Pulp') bezeichnet, in denen diese Geschichten erschienen. Der Begriff entstammt dem englischen Wort 'pulp' (Holzbrei), ein Hinweis auf einfaches, sehr holzhaltiges Papier und die damit zusammenh ngende billige Herstellung. 'Pulp' wurde von Kritikern gerne als Trivial- oder gar Schundliteratur bezeichnet. Was auch immer, wer unkomplizierte, dennoch packende Unterhaltung mag, der kann sich an den zahlreichen, oft nur wenige Seiten kurzen Geschichten erfreuen; auf alle F lle wird keine Zeit verschwendet, um am Ende eines Hunderte von Seiten starken Buches festzustellen, dass es doch nicht der 'Kn ller' war, der den Aufwand gelohnt hat und das man nach gelesenen 250 Seiten nicht einfach vergessen kann, wie das bereits bestellte Bier, das man trotz aufkommender Bauchschmerzen dennoch leert. Die Idee f r den Plot (das Handlungsger st) wird bei diesen Kurzgeschichten nicht endlos gestreckt, politisiert, 'soziologiert', berfrachtet oder gar ausgeleiert, sondern kurz und spannend erz hlt. Sehen Sie dieses kleine Buch gerne als literarisches Fast Food f r zwischendurch. Die schnelle Curry-Wurst ? aber bitte mit ganz scharfer So e Der Hunger ist da schon wieder weg, noch bevor Sie im Schicki-Micki-Restaurant die Speisekarte bekommen haben, und wie's schmeckt, wissen Sie schon vorher.
