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 century's 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. Note: because the poster is neatly folded and tipped-in, the image of that here is borrowed. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course; not a bag. L2
