Book excerpt: A wide-ranging anthology based on the horror universe of H.P. Lovecraft by today’s top talent! A fun, wild, inventive and often-scary anthology horror series, CTHULHU TALES OMNIBUS: MADNESS takes the familiar literary tradition of the H.P. Lovecraft-influenced short story and introduces it to comics. Collecting the last two hard-to-find volumes, this Omnibus edition features stories by Steve Niles (30 DAYS OF NIGHT), William Messner-Loebs (THE FLASH, NECRONOMICON), Brian Augustyn (GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT), Michael Alan Nelson (28 DAYS LATER), Christine Boylan (Leverage), Jeff Lester (Sam & Max Online), Mark Sable (TWO FACE: YEAR ONE), and Roger Langridge (FRED THE CLOWN, THE MUPPET SHOW COMIC BOOK). Follow the Old Ones of myth from ancient times and into the modern age, where even Cthulhu joins a rock band!
