Opis

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.
