description: The vast, terrible entity from beyond time and space who waits brooding in his cyclopean home in sunken R'lyeh-symbol and actuality of unimaginable nightmare-the greatest creation of H.P. Lovecraft. The Cthulhu Mythos inspired many authors to write stories using it as a theme-and this anthology contains the best of these, together with key Cthulhu stories by Lovecraft. In this first volume, the famous "Call of Cthulhu" leads to tales of Derleth, Robert E. Howard, Frank Belknap Long and other masters of the macabre. A collection of macabre tales reprinted from the golden age of pulps.CONTENTS"The Cthulhu Mythos" by August Derleth"The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P.
