Although Gothic literature usually confines academically to a period of a few decades (1760-1820), the truth is that this literary current from the mysteries of evil and the gloom atmospheres extends as a living current to this day. But the sense of Gothic horror has evolved with the times adapting to new fears, and we have a good sample in the present anthology, and in the creative evolution of its inspiring: H.P. Lovecraft.
And that new source of terror for the twentieth and twenty -first century could not be other than the cosmos, whose mysteries began to unravel science at the beginning of the century. Thus, Lovecraft not only felt strange in his time and in his surroundings-he was always an mained writer; He, who was a dispossessed, also felt strange in the cosmos: in the fiction of Cthulhu (denomination of a series of stories, related to each other and initially written by Lovecraft, about hidden and abominable cosmic deities) the modern man is an entity Strange, lost, drifting, ranging in the world of a frightful abyss. The "cosmic horror was born."
After the death of Lovecraft in 1937, his literary legacy remained alive thanks to a circle of friends and fans who kept and recreated the myth of Cthulhu as members of a secret society that kept his science and his sacred icons.

H.P. Lovecraft, August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long, Henry Kuttner, Fritz Leiber, Ramsey Campbell, Brian Lumley, Colin Wilson and Stephen King, among others, which make up this anthology are the example of the example of the example of the example of Dark and permanent influence of H.P. Lovecraft in a group disparate writers who until today have contributed inimitable contributions to the myth.
