The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century''s most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales. From weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction has been a major cultural meme throughout the 20th century, and how this type of story is still salient, and terribly powerful today.

"The world is a stage, life is a play, and we are the puppets. It''s better not to ask who pulls the strings." How lucky do you feel? That question echoed through the world''s underground, scrawled on bathroom walls, spray-painted across subway tunnel exits, written on paper that fluttered through bleak side-streets in the winter wind, printed on cheap business cards tacked to corkboard displays in darkened hallways. But always beneath one name-Limbus. Matthew Sellers revealed the truth of Limbus, Inc. to the world, and in his tales of time travelers, intergalactic beings, and human sacrifice, he thought he had told it all. But the story of the shadowy employment agency that operates on the edge of the abyss, always finding the perfect person for the perfect job-no matter what the cost-had only begun. This shared-world anthology continues the story of Limbus, Inc., as told by five masters of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. But beware, for once you learn the truth of Limbus, Inc., your world will never be the same. So it''s time to ask yourself . . . How lucky do you feel?

Hap Collins et Leonard Pine, les tontons flingueurs texans, sont de retour dans un polar tout feu tout flamme. Lorsque leur ami Marvin demande à Hap et Leonard d’enquêter sur une affaire classée de double homicide, ils sont ravis de jouer à nouveau aux détectives privés : certes, ils aiment le danger et la baston, mais plus encore être payés pour s’y frotter. Les compères ne tardent pas à découvrir que les deux jeunes victimes, qui fricotaient avec une bande de pseudo-vampires gothiques, étaient sur le point d’hériter d’un gros pactole. Plus Hap et Leonard examinent la scène de crime, plus ils y voient clair – en particulier une tête de diable rouge graffitée sur un arbre. Cette signature bizarre, qui se révèle liée à d’autres meurtres, serait-elle celle d’un serial killer sataniste? De l’action pétaradante, de l’humour cocasse, des personnages hauts en couleur sont au menu de ce roman qui marque le retour du duo le plus déjanté du polar américain actuel.
