Newly listed for June publication, Sebastien Baert’s Cthulhu : L’Influence du Mythe sur le Metal. A French language book on Lovecraft’s influence on heavy metal rock music. 432 pages, and it appears to be part musicological/historical study and part anthology of (new?) translations of the key stories…

Cthulhu: The Influence of Myth on Metal is for Lovecraft fans as well as metalheads who want to know more about the influences of their favorite bands. The work of the Master is approached in its entirety and compared to a multitude of musical compositions that inspired.

Seven of the founding Lovecraft stories are reproduced in their entirety …

This book includes a portfolio of eight pages of illustrations of albums selected by the author and representative of the link between the myth and the Metal.
