书籍简介

本单行本收录了 H. P. 洛夫克拉夫特非常受欢迎的两部恐怖和奇幻故事，包括被《野蛮人柯南》的创作者罗伯特-E-霍华德（Robert E. Howard）赞誉为 "我确信它将作为文学的很高的成就而流芳百世 "的《克苏鲁的呼唤》，以及被作家西奥多-斯特金（Theodore Sturgeon）誉为 "真正的科幻小说 "的《疯狂山脉》。

《克苏鲁的呼唤》一开始由《怪诞故事》杂志于 1928 年出版，讲述了在一位刚刚去世的考古学家的私人物品中发现了一个神秘盒子的故事。盒子里的东西--令人不安的浮雕和暗示着禁忌知识的手稿--提供了一个秘密协会的险恶线索，该协会试图复活一个古老的怪物，使地球陷入混乱。

《疯狂之山》于 1936 年在《惊世故事》杂志上连载，描写了一次灾难性的南极探险，发现了一座被无名恶魔萦绕的废弃城市。这两篇故事都为 "克苏鲁神话 "的形成做出了贡献。"克苏鲁神话 "是一个共享宇宙的框架，激发了无数作家、音乐家、读者和视觉艺术家的灵感。这些影响巨大的故事是所有推理小说迷的不可缺少书。

This single-volume edition features a pair of H. P. Lovecraft's best and most popular tales of horror and fantasy: "The Call of Cthulhu," praised by Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard as "a masterpiece, which I am sure will live as one of the highest achievements of literature," and "At the Mountains of Madness," hailed as "first-water, true-blue science fiction" by author Theodore Sturgeon.

Originally published by Weird Tales magazine in 1928, "The Call of Cthulhu" recounts the discovery of a mysterious box among the personal effects of a recently deceased archaeologist. The box's contents — a disturbing bas-relief sculpture and manuscripts hinting at forbidden knowledge — offer sinister clues about a secret cult and its attempts to resurrect an ancient monster that will envelop the planet in chaos. "At the Mountains of Madness," serialized in 1936 in Astounding Stories magazine, traces a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic that uncovers an abandoned city haunted by an unnamed evil. Both stories contributed to the formation of the Cthulhu Mythos, the framework for a shared universe that has inspired countless writers, musicians, readers, and visual artists. These enormously influential tales are must-reads for all fans of speculative fiction.

作者简介

H. 洛夫克拉夫特从事诗歌和散文创作，1917 年转向小说创作，并找到了自己的定位--恐怖和超自然故事作家。虽然他生前读者不多，但在 1937 年去世后，他的声誉和读者群迅速扩大。洛夫克拉夫特经常与埃德加-爱伦-坡相提并论，被认为是 20 世纪重要的恐怖小说作家之一。

H. P. Lovecraft started his career writing poetry and essays but turned to fiction in 1917 and found his niche as a writer of tales of horror and the supernatural. Although he wasn't widely read during his lifetime, his reputation and readership grew quickly after his death in 1937. Often compared to Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft is considered to be one of the most important horror writers of the 20th century.
