The universe that HP Lovecraft created has been drawn upon to coin a concept that still survives today: cosmic horror. Almost one century later, contemporary terror stories still draw from his roots, as Iván Ledesma and Álvaro Aparicio and the Valencians Luis Zurriaga and Alfredo Álamo will express in many different ways in this roundtable. Ledesma recently published La semilla del vacío (El Transbordador), a work that follows in the footsteps of his hit Negorith, with a festival of angels, devils and beings from other levels with a clear Lovecraftian influence. The relationship between the new text by the Uruguayan author Álvaro Aparicio and Lovecraft is even more obvious with a set of stories explicitly entitled A propósito de Lovecraft (El Transbordador), written in the purest style of the author from Providence. In turn, the young Luis Zurriaga will astonish readers with Escalpelo (La Magnífica), a gothic drama narrated in the guise of an exchange of letters with a wonderful style that blends a classic setting with the most contemporary terror. Finally, the writer and editor Alfredo Álamo aims to go beyond his new works like Afterpunk to share a discovery something like a find in this roundtable:  The Thing from the Lake by Eleanor M. Infram, now translated for the first time by La Magnífica. This book was published posthumously in 1921, and there has been a great deal of speculation about to what extent it may have influenced the consolidation of the cosmic era of the myths of Cthulhu, especially the writing of The Dunwich Horror. The writer Susana Vallejo will be in charge of leading this conversation on tentacular horror.
