Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. El terror que trajo José Mallorquí Figuerola. . En junio de 1939, José Mallorquí Figuerola empezó a dirigir Narraciones Terroríficas, la primera revista pulp de terror en castellano de la historia. Por sus páginas desfilarían grandes autores de la mítica Weird Tales, a los que Mallorquí tradujo por primera vez a nuestro idioma. Y las primeras traducciones en el mundo. . Los mitos Cthulhu recopila varios relatos relacionados con la cosmogonía de terror cósmico creada por H. P. Lovecraft. Las declaraciones de Carter es un relato clásico, a lo Poe, que ya da antecedentes de su mitología. El diario de Alonso Typer, escrito en la etapa final del autor, recoge algunas claves de sus mitos: una herencia blasfema narrada como un diario personal. La maldición de Yig es uno de sus relatos de madurez y muestra temas como la insania y la unión contra natura, tan propios del escritor. Los relatos escritos por el joven Robert Bloch ya tienen la fuerza del futuro narrador consagrado: El dios sin rostro, una oda cruel a Nyarlathotep, y El vampiro riente, un guiño a los gules del Pickman de Lovecraft. En Hidra, Henry Kuttner explora la psicodelia lovecraftiana de ángulos extradimensionales, y en El subterráneo se sumerge en los cultos maléficos de una Nueva Inglaterra mágica. Robert Barbour Johnson aporta a los mitos la investigación paranormal moderna con su relato En el fondo. Con El visitante nocturno, Hugh B. Cave apunta a la tecnología para invocar a los primordiales. Finalmente, August Derleth y Mark Schorer nos narran con intriga terrorífica la historia de una criatura extraña en El monstruo del maelstrom. . La labor de mi padre dirigiendo Narraciones Terroríficas fue la de un pionero que trajo a los países hispanohablantes un género hasta entonces desconocido. CÉSAR MALLORQUÍ. LIBRO.…

Soft cover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Like new. Limited pressing. Out of print. H. P. Lovecraft wrote "The Call of Cthulhu" in 1926, initiating the Cthulhu Mythos, one of the most widely imitated shared-world universes in weird fiction. Even in his lifetime, many other writers added to the Mythos, and after his death hundreds if not thousands of authors of weird, fantasy, and science fiction have added their distinctive elaborations on Lovecraft's basic themes and ideas. This volume features some of the best Cthulhu Mythos writing over the past century. Beginning with such rare but classic stories as Mearle Prout's "The House of the Worm" and Robert Barbour Johnson's "Far Below," from the pages of Weird Tales, the anthology moves on to James Wade's novella "The Deep Ones" and Ramsey Campbell's refreshing riff on the "forbidden book" motif, "The Franklyn Paragraphs." Acclaimed stories by T. E. D. Klein, Thomas Ligotti, Neil Gaiman, and W. H. Pugmire are also included. The book includes an array of original stories by such leading authors of Lovecraftian fiction as Caitlín R. Kiernan, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, and Michael Shea. Gemma Files contributes a richly textured novella, while Jonathan Thomas offers a story full of his distinctive melding of horror and satire. A Mountain Walked is chock-full of stories old and new that highlight the endless variations that can be played on H. P. Lovecraft's signature creation. S. T. Joshi is the leading authority on H. P. Lovecraft. He is the author of I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft and the editor of the Black Wings series of Lovecraftian fiction. He edits the Lovecraft Annual and the Weird Fiction Review. Summer, Irina; Ho, David (illustrator).…

Johnson, a U.S. writer of popular fiction, published six stories in WEIRD TALES between December 1935 and January 1941, including "Far Below," published in the magazine's issue dated June-July 1939. In 1953, Dorothy McIlwraith, the editor of WEIRD TALES picked it as the best story ever to appear in the magazine. Johnson's letters, written from Monterey, California, to McCauley, his new literary agent, are largely devoted to marketing his horror novel THEY DIE AT SUNDOWN and a Bigfoot story, "Sasquatch," and McCauley's sale of "Far Below" to Robert Weinberg for publication in FAR BELOW AND OTHER HORRORS (FAX 1974). McCauley was not able to sell THEY DIE AT SUNDOWN and returned the manuscript to Johnson. Throughout the letters, Johnson refers to his fiction written for the pulps, largely BLUE BOOK, and his writing style. "My output has been admittedly small, over the years; I've had many other interests (and, in fact, other professions) but almost every story I ever wrote appeared in print. I have only two unpublished 'weird tales' (as I told you when we were discussing a book of such stories a long time back) and one circus story that was rejected because Blue Book's editor had a taboo on 'suicide' tales. That's all, and out of a total of some fifty published yarns, and one nonfiction book that had two editions! I DO use too many exclamation points, there's no doubt of that; I always have. I used to be horrified by their number, in rereading my published 'Blue Book' stories, and wished I'd left them out. But editor Donald Kennicott never took out a single one, though he published twenty of my yarns, all featured on the cover, and all well received by the readers. For that matter, my weird tales also contain too many 'points' Reread 'Far Below,' just republished for the third time, and hailed by our mutual friend Weinberg as 'my masterpiece,' and you will find just as many excess 'points,' proportionately, as in the book [THEY DIE AT SUNDOWN] you're handling. It seems to be a permanent eccentricity of my style; though not an intentional one." Good content. Johnson's letters are cordial throughout, but he is skeptical that McCauley has done a thorough job with regard to the marketing of THEY DIE AT SUNDOWN. "I confess it's a complete surprise to me, and I still find it difficult to believe. I never had the slightest doubt, when I sent the book to you, that you would sell it. My only worries, at the time, were as to whether it would be the best publisher available, and possible movie, TV rights, and so on, that might develop from it."
