Synopsis
Lovecraft's most famous portraitist was Richard Upton Pickman, whose ironic canvases of ghouls and humanity's relation to ghouls have become famous, even thought they existed only in Lovecraft's keen imagination. Among HPL's writers, Randolph Carter and the tragically destined Edward Pickman Derby stand out. And of course there is Erich Zann, the inhumanly-great violist, whose powers are detailed in "The Music of Erich Zann", included in this volume. In HPL, the artist is the detached observer of society, a cultural reporter of the sort whose function has since become familiar. But Lovecraft also saw a deeper role, one such as played by Henry Wilcox the sculptor in "The Call of Cthulhu": "Wilcox's imagination had been keenly affected (He had) an unprecedented dream of great cyclopean cities of titan blocks and skyflung monoliths, all dripping with green ooze and sinister with latent horror...(and) a voice that was not a voice; a chaotic sensation which only fancy could transmute into sound, but which he attempted to render by the almost unpronounceable jumble of letters, Cthulhu fhtagn." Here are nineteen Mythos tales, melodies of prophecy and deceit: Cthulhu fhtagn!This book is one in an expanding collection of Cthulhu Mythos horror fiction and other topics. Call of Cthulhu fiction focuses on single entities, concepts, or authors significant to readers and fans of H.P. Lovecraft.

Great concept for Mythos Anthology
2. März 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
This is one of the best of the Chaosium Books of Cthulhu Mythos stories. The "hook" is thatthese tales are connected with either music or sond. The anthology leads off with a basc Lovecraft's story, namely "The Music of Erich Zann." It then proceedd to cover 19 tales of usually good to very good quality. The ones that are among the best are: "The Plain of Sound" by Ramsey Campbell, "The Last Show at Verdi's Supper Club" by Stephen Mark Rainey, "Mud" by Brian McNaughton, "The Enchanting of Lala Woods" by E. A. Lustig and the very atmospheric "Flautists" by Edward P. Berglund. Some anthologies are hit or miss. Well this one is almost all hits. Since the millenium, Lovecraft literature and criticism has fared very well in print. In additon to this volume, there is the wonderful "Children of Cthulhu" edited by John Pean and Benjamin Adams, the essential "Complete H. P. Lovecraft Filmography" by Charles P.Mitchell and "Shards of Darkness" by E. P. Berglund. They all are worth reading by dedicated Lovecraft enthusists.

"Sounds of silence"
17. Oktober 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Stephen Mark Rainey has edited a very pleasant collection of stories for the Cthulhu enthusiast. While most are either familiar or non-memorable, one newer story is particularly eerie: "In the Rue dAuseil" by Fred Chappell has exactly the frisson and dark laughter that characterize HPL. The collector of automata focuses on musicians, and composes for them. In his searches he finds out what Erich Zann really was... Good reading for Hallowe'en!

mediocre songs
9. April 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
his didn't cut it. some of the stories were of the kind where the military are challenged by pulpish creatures. i hate those stories. there is a story by Smith here, not really good horror, but had suspence. in addition there is a good story by Rainey. but the rest, no. Some, like Piccirrilli, get almost interesting, but in the end, you wonder why you read them.
