Since H. P. Lovecraft first invited colleagues such as Frank Belknap Long and Robert Bloch (among others) to join in his creation of what has come to be known as “The Cthulhu Mythos” (over Lovecraft’s less invocative name of “Yog-Sothery”), dozens of authors have added to this tapestry. Some, like Ramsey Campbell, used the Mythos as a starting point to his own career; others, like Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, did so at the height of their careers, paying homage to an author who had been an inspiration to them.

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