The signature character of author H. P. Lovecraft s darkly fantastic fiction, Cthulhu is as emblematic for Lovecraft s fans as Darth Vader is for Star Wars adherents. Both feared and worshipped in the stories, Cthulhu has since been the subject of new fiction, artwork, role-playing games, toys and other items celebrating Lovecraft and fandom for weird tales. This totemic set includes a hand-painted figurine suitable for display or dark contemplation, an altarpiece stand, and a booklet discussing the Ancient One s place in Lovecraft and popular culture.
