The Lurking Chronology: A Timeline of the Derleth Mythos - Paperback
by Pete Rawlik (Author)
For decades, dedicated fans of H.P. Lovecraft have looked to his works and from them constructed chronologies and timelines of the stories and their events, with the most ambitious of these being Peter Cannon's The Chronology Out of Time (Necronomicon Press, 1986). Now, author Pete Rawlik (Reanimators, The Weird Company) presents the culmination of years of research. The Lurking Chronology is a detailed examination of the Cthulhu Mythos tales of August Derleth.
Although based on Lovecraft's mythos, the fictitious universe derived by Derleth is distinctly different, interpreting the core events of Lovecraft's fiction in entirely different ways and engendering a wholly unique chronology. Fans of both authors will find this to be an indispensable volume in understanding and comparing the artificial universes these masters of the weird have created, and role playing enthusiasts will find it an incomparable resource for games in this distinct and dramatic setting.Pete Rawlik is a long time collector of Lovecraftian fiction, and is the author of more than twenty-five short stories, a smattering of poetry, and the Cthulhu Mythos novels "Reanimators", "The Weird Company", and the forthcoming "Reanimatrix". He is a frequent contributor to "The Lovecraft eZine" and "The New York Review of Science Fiction". In 2014 his short story "Revenge of the Reanimator" was nominated for a New Pulp Award. He lives in southern Florida where he works on Everglades issues.
