Il est probable que Howard Phillips Lovecraft restera d'abord dans l'histoire litt raire non pas seulement comme le cr ateur de fictions horrifiques, et qui forment, avec l'oeuvre d'Edgar Allan Poe, le corpus "classique" du genre, mais comme un epistolier formidable, d'une dimension inconnue en son temps. Cet ouvrage contient ses derni res lettres, il revient dedans sur la maladie dont il souffre et dont il ignore qu'elle le tuera bient t. Etrangement et tristement, pour qui a lu des centaines de lettres des ann es 1910, 1920, 1930 il semblerait que plus Lovecraft avan ait en ge, plus il s' loignait de cette pulsion auto-destructrice qui s' tait empar e de lui la fin de son adolescence; pour dire les choses rapidement, plus il vieillissait, plus il aimait la vie et les rares et pr cieux moments qu'elle offre aux tres sensibles, aux artistes.

(Welsh translation of the stories of H. P. Lovecraft)'Nid marw yw'r sawl a huna'n fythol brudd;Daw tranc marwolaeth, hyd yn oed, ryw ddydd.'Yr Americanwr H. P. Lovecraft yw un o lenorion pwysicaf meysydd ffuglen arswyd, ffuglen wyddonol a ffantasi. Fel yn achos Orwell a Kafka, mor wreiddiol a neilltuol yw ei arddull a'i destunau fel y bathwyd yr ansoddair Lovecraftaidd i ddisgrifio ffuglen yn yr un genre. Mae ei straeon yn gyforiog o ddirgelwch a chyffro. Ceir ynddynt gyfrinachau sydd yn llechu ar wely'r m r... siambrau tywyll ymhell islaw'r ddaear... hen lyfrau'n cuddio cyfrinachau oes... a chreaduriaid erchyll sydd y tu hwnt i amgyffred pobl Dyma'r tro cyntaf i ffuglen Lovecraft ymddangos yn y Gymraeg. Mae'r casgliad yn cynnwys pump o straeon enwocaf yr awdur gan gynnwys Galwad Cthulhu, stori fythgofiadwy a gyflwynodd i'r byd yr anghenfil tentaclog o'r s r, Cthulhu. Y cyfeiithydd, Peredur Glyn, yw awdur Pumed Gainc y Mabinogi a Cysgod y Mabinogi, gweithiau wedi'u hysbrydoli'n uniongyrchol gan waith H. P. Lovecraft.

Randolph Carter non solo il protagonista dell'omonimo ciclo, ma anche e soprattutto l'alter ego cartaceo dell'autore, la sua controparte onirica. Lovecraft non era un sognatore qualunque, bens un "navigatore esperto" in grado di fare dei veri e propri sogni lucidi; ed proprio da questi che ha tratto gran parte delle meraviglie e degli orrori che possiamo ammirare nelle sue opere. Con la nuova traduzione di Edoardo Dantonia, le illustrazioni di Francesco Saverio Ferrara e la grafica di copertina di Laura "Mayte" Soriani.

"Cthulhu un abominio cosmico, ma fra le mostruosit dell'universo lovecraftiano anche una delle creature pi terrene. Il che non riduce il terrore che pu suscitare: al contrario, lo rende pi vicino e concreto. Cthulhu non come lo sfuggente Yog-Sothoth o come il lontanissimo demone sultano Azathoth. Cthulhu una entit aliena, ma anche un ben pi concreto mostro marino, capace di richiamare alla mente tutta un'altra serie di paure e superstizioni." - dalla prefazione di Francesco Toniolo

Necronomicon -- de döda namnens bok. En antik, vansinnesbringande bok som avslöjar universums verkliga beskaffenhet och vilka väsen som egentligen härskar över naturlagarna och de kosmiska krafterna. Dessa väsen är gudar i egen rätt, men kyligt föraktfulla emot oss obetydliga människovarelser. Den amerikanske författaren H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1936) skrev noveller och romaner med utgångspunkt i denna gåtfulla bok, samt en kort historieskrivning där vi i stora drag får veta dess väg från 700-talets Damaskus över grekiska och latinska översättningar som under medeltiden spreds över Europa, fram till modern tid. Med Necronomicon i Sverige fylls ett betydande hål i Lovecrafts historik. Fler gånger än någon kunnat ana skymtar boken i den svenska historien, ofta med katastrofala följder för de berörda människorna. Historieskrivningen publicerades av Aleph Bokförlag år 2002, men på grund av alla nya och viktiga upptäckter som gjorts sedan dess, presenteras den här i en utökad version.
