Το Λεξικό του Λάβκραφτ


The Lovecraft Lexicon:
A Reader's Guide to Persons, Places and Things in the Tales of H.P. Lovecraft
Συγγραφέας: Anthony Brainard Pearsall
Εκδόσεις: New Falcon Publications
Σελίδες: 480

Though Howard Phillips (H.P.) Lovecraft died in 1937, his remarkable body of work-including The Dunwich horror and The call of Cthulhu-continue to intrigue and horrify readers from all over the world. Its elements of horror, Fantasy and magic have captured an enormous and varied audience. But Lovecraft's world of imagination can be highly complex. It is filled with a daunting array of bizarre and obscure characters, monsters, places and things which can be quite a tast for anyone to sort out. Anthony Pearsall has done just that. From "Abbadon" (a demon in the Nameless City) to "Zuro" (a river in The Quest of Iranon), Pearsall has meticuously covered hundreds of the People, Places and Things in H.P. Lovecraft's writings. Armed with The Lovecraft Lexicon, you have the definitive guide to the people, places and things which influenced his life and his writings.
And if that isn't enough, a special, extended Appendix details one of Lovecraft's recurrent themes: Caves, Caverns & Abysses.
