Call of Cthulhu - S. Petersen's Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors (EN)
Strange noises in the basement? Weird shadows in the woods? A nameless horror watching you from the corners of your eyes?
Then you should never leave the house without S. Petersen's Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors.
This extraordinary sourcebook presents itself like a classic field guide, albeit for the unspeakable creatures of the Cthulhu Mythos.

With lovingly crafted illustrations, scientific-sounding descriptions, and abundant background information, the book feels like the working tool of an experienced Mythos researcher.
More than 50 mythological creatures are presented in detail, including size comparisons, habitats, distribution areas, life cycles, and helpful notes on how to tell similar beings apart. The entries are supplemented with warnings for observers as well as reading recommendations for anyone who wants to delve even deeper into cosmic horror.
Whether as a source of inspiration for Call of Cthulhu, as an atmospheric reference work, or as a high-quality collector's item, this book is a must-have for all fans of the Lovecraftian universe.
