Since H. P. Lovecraft first invited colleagues such as Frank Belknap Long and Robert Bloch to join in his creation of what has come to be known as “The Cthulhu Mythos,” dozens of authors have added to this tapestry. Caitlín R. Kiernan has contributed a body of work to the Mythos.

In this collection, the author has selected over two dozen of her Lovecraftian tales ranging from 2000s “Valentian” to her more recent “A Mountain Walked,” as well as the complete Dandridge Cycle and a new story, “M Is for Mars.”
