Esta colección se centra en dos de los relatos más famosos de H.P. Lovecraft: 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. 10
