_The Compleat Crow_ was put out several years ago by a publisher named W. Paul
Ganley (I think; the Ganley part is definitely right).

It's not really complete, of course; it's just all (most of?) the short stories
that hadn't previously been published together.

A previous poster listed all the other titles I could remember.

They may be pretty good as horror fiction, but they aren't Lovecraft.
Lovecraft's cosmic critters weren't evil in any absolute sense, but any
contact between humans and them was generally disastrous for the humans.
The horror was intended to be that of finding the universe so alien and
generally unfriendly, and humanity so insignificant.  

Derleth's cosmic critters, on the other hand, were lined up into two
bunches, the good guys and the bad guys, both heavily concerned with
humans.  The horror was in finding such vicious and powerful enemies.
Unfortunately, Derleth's stuff got more press, so you see nonsense about
Lovecraft intending "Elder Gods" as good guys.  Even the name "Cthulhu
mythos" reflects Derleth's ideas.  Lovecraft wrote one (good) story about
Cthulhu and dropped its name periodically thereafter; Derleth wrote
constantly about Cthulhu as chief opponent to humanity.

My recommendation:  read Lovecraft.  Arkham House recently came out with
a new collection with the stories reprinted from what manuscripts survived
instead of the edited versions in Weird Tales, and I highly recommend these
for stylistic reasons.

It's pronounced "Koo-TOO-loo".  There's a whole write-up about him (it) in
the beginning of the Avalon Books edition of the NECRONOMICON.  It says that
"Chthulu" (or Cthulu, or Kutulu, etc...) is the ancient Babylonian equivalent
of Christianity's "Satan."  He is the "man from KUTU", or Hell (thus KUTULU).
Kutulu was defeated in a war of the Gods by the demigod hero MARDUK.  Since
Kutulu could not actually be "killed", he was banished to sleep for all
eternity in an underwater tomb somewhere -- until as such time as somebody
wakes him.

Regarding pronounciation... I captured this message from a local BBS, and

Title : HPL

[Excerpt] 

     Lovecraft, in discussing his devising of the name Cthulhu for his
monster-entity, says that it is designed to represent sounds appropriate
only to certain non-human vocal apparati: "The actual sound--as nearly as
human organs could imitate it or human letters record it--may be taken as
something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally
and very thickly." Later Lovecraft, obviously having some fun with his
young correspondents' questions about the pronunciation, wrote:
          The best approximation one can make is to grunt, bark, or
     cough the imperfectly formed syllables Cluh-Luh with the tip of
     the tongue firmly affixed to the roof of the mouth. That is, if
     one is a human being. Directions for other entities are natural-
     ly different.

Hmm, I don't want to know what happens when the proper pronunciation works

horrible lisp, as if produced by an unspeakable gibbering idiot with a cleft

	Yes.  Published by Chaosium, the roleplaying game Call of Cthulhu is 
probably *the* most successful horror-based rpg in existence.  It first appeared
very early in the 1980s (I think) and is now in its fifth edition.  I have played
it quite a bit, both as a player and a gamemaster.
	It is faithful to Lovecraft and does not betray his dark visions.  Very
few happy endings here.  I feel the game is unique in its field; players take on
the persona of practically-doomed investigators into the occult and mysterious.
The more their characters learn of the true nature of things, the more they risk
loss of mental health.  
	The system is fairly simple and unobtrusive (based on RuneQuest, if you
know that), and there are masses of supplements and scenario books out, most of
which are of high quality.  A number of these have already achieved semi-legendary
status.  The game is fully supported; it can be played most efficiently in either
a 1920s setting, present day, or Victorian era.  There is also a separate book
for roleplaying in the Dreamlands, and this must simply be one of the weirdest
rpg books out (which is saying something).

	Yeah, it seems he was.  So what; he's dead.  He wrote a large number of
stories, which I enjoy hugely (and which frighten me more than anything anyone
else ever wrote); it matters little if the man was a racist.  Let him rest in
peace; he knew little enough peace of mind while alive.  Anyone who could write
the sort of literature he did *must* have had his share of mental problems.

I dunno, but I was bitten by this, too.  Apparently, August Derleth was a big
HPL fan, and deliberately copied his style.  What came of it are some truly
dreary stories -- I couldn't finish them, they were so bad.  Derleth copied

Very pedantic.  Made me very *mad*.

Well, the idea that any Necronomicon one might find, is fake
is blatantly obvious: a magical tome is not amenable to a 
production line!

What I am interested in is the pronounciation of the noun, Cthulhu.

Long ago, poking through my uncle's library, I ran across a book 
regarding Lovecraft.  Within was an essay that I believe had Lovecraft
indicating how the name should be pronounced.  As others have pointed out,
the word was meant for beings other than ourselves to utter. Thus, any
representation in our language is going to leave something to be desired.
He said, "c'too-loo" was the correct pronounciation.  I imagine the "h"s
indicate a breathy nature to the prounciation: thus, "c't'hoo-l'hoo"... but,
without sounding like an owl.

As for myself, I prefer the pronounciation "ka-thull-who" which has
always worked for me.  

Master R. J. O'Dan 

P.S.
     If anyone can identify that book to which I refer, I'd be most 
delighted.
