Only 31 monsters, from Derleth and others as well as from Lovecraft, so it&#8217;s definitely not a cosmos-spanning encyclopaedia.   However it&#8217;s apparently been in development for years and runs to 352 sumptuous hardback pages. Likely to be heavily illustrated and deeply informative about each monster, as apparently it dovetails with the <em>Gumshoe<\/em>-based <em>Trail of Cthulhu<\/em> tabletop RPG system.
