Nyctalops

Nyctalops was a Cthulhu Mythos zine focused on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and other Lovecraftian writers. It was published by Harry O. Morris and Edward P. Berglund in 1970-1983; one final issue was published in 1991. There were nineteen issues. At first it was strictly non-fiction and dedicated to literary criticism, but also started publishing fiction (mostly poetry) later on, after Edward P. Berglund became an editor. It also published letters of comment. With time the zine widened its scope, beginning to explore other themes besides Cthulhu Mythos, and acquired its emblematic slightly surrealist style.
The title possibly was based on the poem by Clark Ashton Smith. "Nyctalops" (plural nyctalopes) means a person who has nyctalopia. Also called "night blindness", nyctalopia is a condition characterized by impaired vision in the dim light or in the darkness. 
Nyctalops is one of the most well-known zines in the Lovecraft fandom and has a cult status among the fans.
Contributors included many famous authors such as Robert Bloch, Ramsey Campbell, Wilum Pugmire, Brian Lumley, Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Darrell Schweitzer, T. E. D. Klein, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Thomas Ligotti (whose stories first appeared in this zine before he became a published author). The zine also reprinted some works by famous authors such as Clark Ashton Smith, Jean Cocteau and Lafcadio Hearn.
Nyctalops featured art by Harry O. Morris, Herb Arnold, Thomas G.L. Cockroft, Mike Garcia, Mark Gelotte, Brad Foster, Tim Kirk, Jim Pitts, Steve Riley, Denis Tiani, Helmet Wenske, and Walt Simonson.
The zine was published in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.
