‘The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown’ H. P. Lovecraft
For three-quarters of a century, the horrors of Howard Phillips Lovecraft have wound their tentacles through American literary and popular culture. This highly anticipated edition of his most influential short fiction, strictly limited to 750 copies, stands as a new landmark in the long history of Lovecraftian illustration and publishing.Housed in a sea-green and purple duotone solander box, the volume is pitch black down to its very page edges, intended to rival even the forbidden tomes of Lovecraft’s cursed libraries. The binding is embossed with a gold device and astral symbol, akin to the ancient hieroglyphs used to summon his ancient god monsters. Inside, each of acclaimed artist Dan Hillier’s six mesmerising artworks is paired with a unique mandala-esque design. A signed print, created exclusively for the limited edition by the artist, is also included. Dan Hillier is a London-based artist. His work has been shown in galleries as diverse as the Louvre in Paris, the Saatchi Gallery in London and Turin’s Natural History Museum. He has also collaborated with others, including the BBC on their drama Requiem, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London in 2016, UK band Royal Blood for their eponymous number-one-selling album in 2014, more recently another UK band Architects, provided the covers for Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors and Anansi Boys in 2008. He illustrated the Folio Society edition of H. P. Lovecraft’s The Call Of Cthulhu in 2017, Steppenwolf in 2018.
Dan's reputation continues to grow, he is highly accoladed, and rightly so. The signed print itself adds to the desirability and value of the book, I expect this edition to continue to grow or simply sit very nicely in your collection....
