In your hands, you hold a new original homage to Lovecraft’s writings and to his readers. Let’s just hope by reading these stories, we don’t somehow unleash the old ones on the world. New Tales of the Old Ones is a tribute compilation to the tremendous influence H.P. Lovecraft had on the world of sci-fi, horror, mystery, and especially ‘weird tales’. Lovecraft didn’t just flaunt traditional philosophy and storytelling of the time period, he flipped it on its head. His works included many themes including religion, the dangers of science, fate, and humanity’s inability to understand the supernatural. The stories also dealt with humanity’s impotence against the supernatural’s potential sinister power. He explored subjects such as worlds beyond our perception, worlds that could be all around us, but beyond our perception. In these worlds, we were powerless to the mysteries it held, the dangers. Within these pages, you will find stories that share these same themes, these same mysteries, these same frights. The authors who have been chosen to be a part of this compilation are the cream of the crop, authors who have been chosen for properly honouring Lovecraft’s works. New Tales of the Old Ones is the perfect tribute to the legacy of Lovecraft. So step in to the world of Ry'leh
