Originally published in 2007, Cthulhu Cult was the ‘bible’ for the now-defunct group that integrated H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos, Satanism, Chaos Magic, the Fourth Way, and other Left Hand Path traditions into their religious text.
The first half of the book is a study of the “Cthulhu Cult”—the metaphysics, mythos, philosophy, psychology, history, structure, sorcery, religion, literature and language of the Cult that will never die.
This is the definitive reference for anyone who would like to know more about the Cult’s gods, sorcerous rituals, religious rites, esoteric agenda, R’lyehian language, core literature, or wants to create their own Cultic coven.
The second half contains five core stories of Lovecraft’s Mythos: “The Call of Cthulhu”, “The Dunwich Horror”, “The Whisperer in Darkness”, “The Dreams in the Witch-House”, and “The Haunter of the Dark”, that introduce the new reader to the Literature and provide a convenient reference for the first half of the book.
