The cover of "The Call of Cthulhu and other Weird Tales", collected stories by the great Sci-Fi horror writer, J.P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). Published by Vintage Books, London, 2011. The cover design shows what looks like a mariner at the wheel, steering a coffin on a swirling "sea". Above him is a giant creature with octopus-like tentacles and two giant claws. This illustration is designed to be viewed with 3D glasses (supplied with the book), and has a slightly out of focus appearance, composed mainly of 3 distinct colours (black, red and cyan). The book title, in the centre of the illustration, likewise out of focus, is rendered in yellow block capitals edged with orange and cyan.

Having greatly enjoyed Julian Simpson's "Lovecraft Investigations" on BBC Sounds, I thought I would go back to source. I'm now very afraid. #PleasantGreen #BookSky
