Steeped in the mythology and gods of Lovecraft, CTHULHU IS HARD TO SPELL VOLUME 1 makes cosmic horror accessible to everyone! Including 20 stories from a diverse group of creators, this anthology embraces science fiction, history, humor, and ancient myths, for a rich and varied reading experience that broadens the audience’s understanding of Lovecraftian mythology and monsters beyond the overrepresented stories most frequently retold and reprinted in anthologies.

Readers devour stories such as Nora—a dejected teenager living in an ice village sets out to find Aphoom-Zhah and thaw his cold heart; The Dunwich Boys—Yog-Sothoth has materialized in a house in Dunwich, and the Dunwich boys have to banish it from their neighborhood; and Cat is Cryptic—a retelling of the Cats of Ulthar, one of Lovecraft’s most beloved stories.

Cthulhu is Hard to Spell is an anthology series steeped in the mythology and gods of Lovecraft. The stories inside its pages follow the spirit of Lovecraft, but sometimes stray from the tone of Lovecraftian horror, too! Sure, some of the stories in this book are Lovecraftian in nature down to their very core, but there are also funny stories, cute stories, fantasy stories, sci-fi stories, and much more that build on the Lovecraftian mythos.
CTHULHU IS HARD TO SPELL VOLUME 1 will be available Spring 2025. For more details and a digital review copy, read on!
