Steampunk Cthulhu: Mythos Terror in the Age of Steam (Chaosium 6054)

“We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”
So said H.P. Lovecraft in the first chapter of his most famous story, The Call of Cthulhu (1926). This is also the perfect start for an introduction to Steampunk Cthulhu, for within the stories in this collection mankind has indeed voyaged too far, and the scientific innovations undreamt of but for the fantastic fiction of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne and others, have opened terrifying vistas of reality with insanity and worse as the only reward.
The Steampunk genre has always incorporated elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror and alternative history, and certainly the Cthulhu Mythos has not been a stranger to Steampunk...
