The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H.P. Lovecraft D M Mitchell

Brief Description: THE STARRY WISDOM - contemporary visions of cosmic transformation, mutation and madness many inspired directly by the life and writings of H. P. Lovecraft, others reflecting his strangely presentient themes in their own bizarre sub-texts. Here the primal beings of Lovecrafts Cthulhu Mythos stalk a post-modern landscape of social collapse, ethnic cleansing, genetic engineering and nuclear devastation nightmare prophecies from his pulp pages which have now come chillingly true. In THE STARRY WISDOM, the undercurrents of sexual and ecological displacement which powered Lovecrafts work have ?nally been laid bare, providing this maligned genius with a long-overdue retrospective and revealing him to be a true prophet of the 20th century. THE STARRY WISDOM, first published in 1994, was the originator of the present-day Lovecraft cult; it has been in print ever since and is now presented in a new edition from Creation Oneiros.
