Cthulhu Savoia. Racconti di fantarcheologia lovecraftiana

noreply@blogger.com (Andrea Bonazzi) — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:30:00 +0000

You can find me on the cover and in a couple of illustrations inside Cthulhu Savoia. Racconti di fantarcheologia lovecraftiana, a narrative anthology that combines Italian archaeology of the 1920s with the contemporary Cthulhu Mythos, edited by Paolo Sista with the Strani Aeoni collective from the Telegram group “Lovecraft Italia” and published in Italy by Colomò Editore. Illustrated by Andrea Bonazzi, Matteo Inconi, and Giuseppe Ragazzi, the volume includes stories by Arrigo Boito, Flavio Deri, Claudio Foti, Mauro Palazzi, and Davide Russo.

“Fantastic Archeology and Alternate History are fundamental tropes of Lovecraftian fiction. Although developed in complete synchrony with the terrifying cosmic perspective of the Cthulhu Mythos, these imaginary disciplines have, over time, been neglected by those who have continued the work of the Dreamer of Providence. With this volume, Strani Aeoni aims to revitalize that narrative strand, starting from space-time coordinates close to us, according to Lovecraft's own teachings. Against the tragic backdrop of Italy during the twenty years of Fascism, phantom elite units will be sent on expeditions to the borders of nightmare, while distinguished scholars will investigate unmentionable cults, both abroad and at home. So lace up your boots and get ready to march: awaiting you within the pages of this book are the ominous Plateau of Leng, wherever it may be, and the secrets of the ruling house, in the underground of the Savoy capital.”

Potete ritrovarmi con copertina e un paio di illustrazioni interne su Cthulhu Savoia. Racconti di fantarcheologia lovecraftiana, antologia narrativa che incrocia l'archeologia italiana degli anni Venti con i Miti di Cthulhu loro contemporanei, curata da Paolo Sista con il collettivo Strani Aeoni del gruppo Telegram “Lovecraft Italia” e pubblicata in Italia presso Colomò Editore. Illustrato da Andrea Bonazzi, Matteo Inconi e Giuseppe Ragazzi, il volume comprende racconti di Arrigo Boito, Flavio Deri, Claudio Foti, Mauro Palazzi e Davide Russo.

“Fantarcheologia e fantastoria sono topoi fondamentali della narrativa lovecraftiana. Benché sviluppate in piena sincronia con la terrificante prospettiva cosmica dei Miti di Cthulhu, tali discipline immaginarie sono state, col tempo, trascurate dai prosecutori dell’opera del Sognatore di Providence. Con il presente volume, Strani Aeoni si propone di rivitalizzare quel filone narrativo, partendo da coordinate spazio-temporali a noi vicine, secondo l’insegnamento dello stesso Lovecraft. Sul tragico sfondo dell’Italia del Ventennio, fantomatici reparti scelti verranno inviati in spedizioni ai confini dell’incubo, mentre esimi studiosi dovranno indagare su culti innominabili, all’estero come in patria. Allacciate gli scarponi, dunque, e preparatevi a marciare: ad attendervi, fra le pagine di questo libro, vi sono il nefasto Altopiano di Leng, ovunque esso sia, e i segreti della casa regnante, nel sottosuolo della capitale sabauda”.
