Texto paralelo bilingüe - Bilingual edition
Inglés - Español / English - Spanish
Esta colección se centra en dos de los relatos más famosos de H.P. la novela corta «La llamada de Cthulhu» y el inquietante cuento «El horror de Dunwich».
En «La llamada de Cthulhu», obra seminal del horror cósmico, un joven recompone la extraña colección de notas, artefactos e investigaciones de su difunto tío, que apuntan a la existencia de un ser monstruoso a la espera de emerger de su letargo submarino. El joven, a medida que profundiza en la obsesión de su tío por el legendario Cthulhu, empieza a descubrir un terrorífico culto global con siniestros planes que amenazan a la humanidad.
En la misma línea, «El horror de Dunwich» es un relato ambientado en el aislado y decadente pueblo de Dunwich; la historia sigue los extraños sucesos que rodean a la familia Whateley, que tiene inquietantes vínculos con una presencia invisible y monstruosa que acecha entre las remotas colinas y bosques.
Cuando el misterioso y deforme Wilbur Whateley nace y crece rápidamente hasta la edad adulta, los habitantes del pueblo presienten que algo siniestro está en marcha. Los rumores se arremolinan sobre oscuros rituales en lo profundo de los bosques y libros prohibidos con terribles secretos. A medida que los planes de Wilbur para su hermano invisible salen a la luz, nadie sospecha la verdadera naturaleza del horror que amenaza con desatarse.
Este volumen pone de relieve la brillante imaginación de Lovecraft y su don para elaborar terroríficos relatos de lo macabro, que cobran nueva vida en esta traducción actualizada.
English version This collection focuses on two of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous short the novella "The Call of Cthulhu” and the unnerving tale "The Dunwich Horror.”
In “The Call of Cthulhu”, a seminal work of cosmic horror, a young man pieces together his late uncle's strange collection of notes, artifacts and research, which point to the existence of a monstrous being waiting to emerge from its underwater slumber. As he delves deeper into his uncle's obsession with the legendary Cthulhu, he begins uncovering a terrifying global cult with sinister plans that threaten humanity.
In the same vein, "The Dunwich Horror" is a tale set in the isolated, decaying village of Dunwich; the story follows the strange events surrounding the Whateley family, who have disturbing ties to an invisible, monstrous presence lurking among the remote hills and woods.
When the mysterious and deformed Wilbur Whateley is born and rapidly grows to adulthood, the townspeople sense something sinister is at work. Rumours swirl about dark rituals deep in the woods and forbidden books with terrible secrets. As Wilbur's plans for his unseen brother come to light, no one suspects the true nature of the horror which threatens to break loose.
This volume highlights Lovecraft's brilliant imagination and gift for crafting terrifying tales of the macabre; brought to new life in this updated translation to Spanish.

About the author
H.P. Lovecraft
6,110 books19.3k followersHoward Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.
Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.
Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

Lectura barroca. No apta para no iniciados. Parece escrita con fiebre, desasosiego y locura.
