A four-volume anthology of Cthulhu Mythos stories set in the Lake District.
This collection unites four volumes of short fiction centered on H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary Cthulhu Mythos within the specific setting of the Cumbrian region. Andrew McGuigan presents these works as a tribute to both the cosmic horror tradition and the landscape of the Lake District.

Visual elements include cover art by Janusz Zygmunt and internal illustrations by Andrew Paciorek.
