Black Forbidden Things

Black Forbidden Things: Cryptical Secrets from the “Crypt of Cthulhu” , published in 1992 by Starmont House, is a collection of material from the Lovecraftian fanzine Crypt of Cthulhu. Like the publication itself, it was edited by Robert M. Price. It serves as a sequel to the 1990 collection The Horror of It All.
The volume features literary criticism from leading Lovecraft scholars like Price, S. T. Joshi, Will Murray, and David E. Schultz. Two essays by Price that originally appeared in the publication Tekeli-li were included as complements to other pieces. The collection contains some fiction pieces, inclduing the original version of stories by William Lumley and Adolphe de Castro that were revised by Lovecraft. 
The title comes from a passage in H. P. Lovecraft's "The Haunter of the Dark": "They were the black, forbidden things which most sane people have never even heard of, or have heard of only in furtive, timorous whispers."
