Paul Wilson, Guillermo del Toro, and Neil Gaiman. Included in this volume are The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, "The Call of Cthulhu," "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath," "At the Mountains of Madness," "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," "The Colour Out of Space," "The Dunwich Horror," and many more hair-raising tales.

Jsme v roce 2203 na planetě Zemi ve Federaci devíti planet, jejímž hlavním městem je Batávie. Státy již neexistují. Federace je jakási feduálně kapitalistická společnost řízená náhodou. Lidstvo je proto silně pověrčivé, ověšuje se amulety a talismany a oddává se hazardním hrám. Hlavou Federace je Quizmaster, který je volen náhodným seskupením atomů v zařízení zvaném „Laev“. Je možno ho legálně zabít a tím nastoupit na jeho místo. Vraha určuje Shromáždění Výzvy a vrahovu akci sleduje celý svět na obrazovkách… Sluneční loterie je prvním Dickovým románem, který napsal ve svých dvaceti šesti letech. Ale už v této knize se odráží Dickovo mistrovství.
