What the Critics say about Malleus Monstrorum:

  • "Without doubt, the definitive Call of Cthulhu monster guide... a full-color feast for the eyes and the absolutely essential compendium of Lovecraftian deities and denizens."
    — Andrew Logan Montgomery, Exploring the Otherworlds of Fiction, Magic, and Gaming.
  • "Looking back over twenty-five years of monster volumes for Call of Cthulhu, it's obvious that Chaosium's new two-volume Malleus Monstrorum is not just the best, but miles ahead of its predecessors. It's beautifully designed, gorgeously illustrated, and stunningly complete."
    — Shannon Appelcline, RPGNet Review.
  • "An important entry in the 7th Edition library... the breadth of the project is authoritative and all-inclusive. If I have a question about a Cthulhu Mythos monster this is probably the first place I'm going to go to now."
    — Dave Thaumavore, YouTube Review.
  • "9/10 - Malleus Monstorum is an absolute gem... Chaosium delivers a jam-packed two volume reference that blends flavor and mechanics to offer Keepers a detailed accounting of Mythos-based threats."
    — The Gaming Gang, A Monstrous Manual Reviewed.
  • "Five out of five eldritch tentacles – I think the slipcase is worth it just for the first book of monsters alone. What a horrifying and terrifying collection to rend investigators with and threaten to eat the heads of heroes."
    — Charles Dunwoody, ENWorld, Malleus Monstrorum Unboxing.
