Bøger i Lovecraft Squad serien

The second book in the Lovecraft Squad series in which a super-secret organisation battles the monstrosities given form in H.P. Lovecraft's fevered imagination.

In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.The Armies of the Night are rising. Such clandestine cults as the Olde Fellowes and the Esoteric Order of Dagon, who worship a group of ancient deities called the Great Old Ones, are harnessing occult powers to open the doorways to the Dreamscape and other dimensions beyond space and time. Now something big is coming-something that is already sowing the seeds of madness and chaos into the psyche of the world-and only the agents of the Human Protection League stand between this rising tide of evil and the enslavement and eventual destruction of the human race itself . . .  Set against such historic events as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, San Francisco's "Summer of Love," the first Moon landing, the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, and the Watergate break-in, the dedicated members of the Lovecraft Squad battle supernatural threats all across the world-and from beyond the stars. Featuring original contributions by: Stephen Baxter, Brian Hodge, Sean Hogan, Lisa Morton, Kim Newman, Reggie Oliver, John Llewellyn Probert, Lynda E. Rucker, Angela Slatter, and Michael Marshall Smith.

From its new headquarters, the Human Protection League (colloquially known as "The Lovecraft Squad") must regroup against the rising tide of supernatural threats from such clandestine cults as The Olde Fellowes and The Esoteric Order of Dagon, who worship a group of ancient deities known as the Great Old Ones. As their unholy acolytes prepare to resurrect these multi-dimensional gods from their imprisonment beneath the earth and beyond the stars, the universe hovers on the brink of an Eldritch War such as it has never known before. The only thing that may stand between victory or the enslavement and eventual destruction of the human race itself is a man out of his own time-a writer, a visionary, a dreamer on the night-side . . .With contributions by: Peter Atkins, Stephen Baxter, Mike Chinn, Adrian Cole, Brian Hodge, Lisa Morton, Thana Niveau, Reggie Oliver, John Llewellyn Probert, Angela Slatter, Michael Marshall Smith, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Jo Fletcher.
