Midwest Book Review
Over twenty Lovecraft-inspired visions of cosmic transformation present fantasies and visions of social collapse, genetic engineering, and some chilling portraits of the future. These new, unpublished prose pieces and graphic works accompany some reprints to present a diverse spectrum of contributor talents; from Ramsey Campbell and Brian Lumley to J. B. Ballard.
Book Description
Contemporary visions of cosmic transformation, mutation and madness - many inspired directly by the thoughts and writings of H P Lovecraft, others reflecting his strangely presentient themes, perhaps unwittingly, in their own bizarre sub-text. The Starry Wisdom is a long-overdue retrospective, which reveals him to be a true prophet of the 20th century. It will appeal not only to readers of H P Lovecraft, but to all lovers of innovative art and literature in the science fiction, horror and fantasy genres.
