The Horror of It All

The Horror of It All: Encrusted Gems from the "Crypt of Cthulhu" is a collection of essays (along with selected fiction) on H. P. Lovecraft, the Cthulhu Mythos and related subjects that appeared in the fanzine Crypt of Cthulhu, edited by Robert M. Price. "The title is not, as one might expect, 'The Best of The Crypt of Cthulhu'," Price noted in the introduction, "since there is simply too much to choose from. The contents of this collection are among the best, but that would be a peculiar title!"
The Horror of It All was published in 1990 by Starmont House (Mercer Island, Washington). A second collection of Crypt of Cthulhu material, Black Forbidden Things, was published in 1992.
