The Lovecraft Squad is a shared-world horror project with several contributors. Baxter’s involvement brings a more scientifically grounded approach to the Cthulhu Mythos than pure horror fiction typically attempts, finding common ground between Lovecraft’s cosmic indifference and the physics-based sense of human smallness that runs through Baxter’s own work.
The series sits well outside Baxter’s usual territory but is not as surprising a choice as it might first seem. Lovecraft and hard science fiction share a preoccupation with how insignificant humanity is against the scale of the universe, and Baxter has always been interested in that question.
