Blurb: 
Bringer of death, madness and mutilation beyond humanity's wildest nightmares. Dweller in the abysmal depths of earth and ocean. Bearer of horrors from beyond time and space. Keeper of unspeakable mysteries from the dark aeons before humanity's spawning. Here are tales of occult abomination that will stretch your nerves to the very limits of supernatural terror.

These stories by the master and his most adept pupils in the lore of dread Cthulhu will conduct you to the outer darkness of total fear. But be warned: you'll have to find your own way back...
