Synopsis

From the horrific to the silly, Cthulhu Tales takes H.P. Lovecraft's style of storytelling - and often many of his familiar icons - and runs with them. At its most intense, it tells harrowing tales of horror filled with insanity, in keeping with Lovecraft's original works. At its most envelope-pushing, this anthology tells extremely silly stories that take characters like Cthulhu and run with them.
A fun, wild, inventive, and often scary anthology horror series, Cthulhu Tales takes the familiar literary tradition of the Lovecraft-influenced short story and introduces it to comics. These terrifying tales are written by today's hottest writers including: the creator of the Sci-Fi Network TV show EUREKA - Andrew Cosby, EUREKA staff writer Johanna Stokes, TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE screenwriter John Rogers, THE DAILY SHOW! writer Brendan Haye, Marvel's WEREWOLF BY NIGHT movie and the upcoming TEKKEN film - Hans Rodionoff, and SECOND WAVE writer Michael Alan Nelson. Featuring the most brilliant roster of artists compiled anywhere, Cthulhu Tales is a primal journey into a dark arena of horror.
