ed.), from Arkham House "Eternal Lovecraft" and "Cthulhu 2000" edited by James Turner (uneven but containing some superb work Golden Gryphon and Arkham House, respectively) and several from Fedogan and Bremer (can be ordered from Arkham House's site) as edited by Robert M. Probably the best in-print mythos anthologies would be: "Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos" (rev. Pugmire, scattered pieces by Ramsey Campbell, Fritz Leiber's "The Terror from the Depths". Klein, in his novel "The Ceremonies" and the short story "Black Man with a Horn" Thomas Ligotti, W. Some of the best writers to touch on these themes would be T. Lovecraft, of course, is the place to start, but there's such a plethora of other work (some good, some bad, some indifferent, some gawdawful), that it's hard to know what to suggest. Subscriptions (giving a savings amounting to the price of one volume, as well as an extra volume only available by subscription) are, I believe, still available. You might also like to have a look at some of the August Derleth stuff, though I didn't much care for these.įor those interested, Night Shade Books in America is going to be issuing a 5-volume complete fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, with corrected texts. CAS is a bit difficult to get hold of, though if you live in the UK then there's the excellent if somewhat haphazard collection "Emperor of Dreams." A great introduction to his work. Then, of course, there is the fabulous Clark Ashton Smith, whose works were not only set in the Cthulhu Mythos but actively helped to contribute to Lovecraft's work itself. His friend and peer, Robert E Howard, also wrote a number of horror tales which are rather loosely collected in the three-volume "The Weird Works of Robert E Howard" along with some of his S&S stuff, and also in the excellent "Nameless Cults" (if you can stomach the awful cover!). I'd probably stay away from the Del Rey edition "Dreams of Terror and Death," as a lot of the work collected here is his earlier, weaker stuff, and the collection as a whole is an attempt at creating a specific 'theme' within Lovecraft's work which is not entirely consistent.Īlso, as Alucard mentions, Lovecraft was not the only writer to write stories in the Cthulhu Mythos. Any of the Arkham House collections are worth reading and excellent value for money.
