Description: H. P. Lovecraft's work has been hailed by bestselling author Clive Barker as "one of the cornerstones of modern horror" -- and has inspired generations of supernatural storytellers. Now, in "CTHULHU 2000", Lovecraft is paid homage by a gallery of today's best horror and fantasy writers in spine-tingling tales that would have made the master proud, including:
-- "The Barrens" by F. Paul Wilson: In a tangled wilderness, unearthly lights lead the way to a world no human was ever meant to see.
-- "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood" by Poppy Z. Brite: Two dabblers in black magic encounter a maestro of evil enchantment.
-- "On the Slab" by Harlan Ellison: The corpse of a one-eyed giant brings untold fortune -- and unspeakable fear -- to whomever possesses it.
-- "The Unthinkable" by Bruce Sterling: The Cold War arms race is taken to terrifying new extremes when America penetrates another dimension in search of the ultimate weapon.

Plus fourteen more bloodcurdling stories by Michael Shea, Roger Zelazny, Joanna Russ, Gahan Wilson, Lawrence Watt-Evans, Ramsey Campbell, T. E. D. Klein, Esther M. Friesner, Thomas Ligotti, James P. Blaylock, Gene Wolfe, Fred Chappell, Basil Cooper, and Kim Newman.
