The Great Cumbrian Cthulhu Cover Art Competition!
Win the chance to have YOUR art on the cover of Cumbrian Cthulhu!
Cumbrian Cthulhu is a fully illustrated collection of short horror stories set in the English Lake District county of Cumbria and based on H.P. Lovecraft’s legendary Cthulhu Mythos. We are publishing a series of paperback anthologies, followed by a deluxe hardback edition containing all stories together, entitled ‘Complete Short Stories Vols 1-4’
Alongside this we will be publishing ‘Cumbrian Cthulhu Art & History,’ a full colour coffee table style book containing all our CC art in large detail, with a full history of the project and those involved. Our contributors very kindly give their work and time for free, so that all profits from the CC books can be donated to Lake District Search And Mountain Rescue (LDSAMRA.)
One of the CC project’s other main aims is to encourage and publish new writers and artists. With this in mind we would like to announce a new competition open to all fantasy and horror artists!
