Six tales of the Cthulhu Mythos by James Ambuehl, featuring his own Lu-Kthu Mythos, including "Sculpture", in which a hideus creature is embodied with an even more hideous life; "The Snake Farm", a tale of hidden horrors at a tourist trap; "The Stalker in the Snow", a Cthulhu Mythos werewolf tale; "The Terror of Toad Lake", where a backwoods marsh is home to a loathsome horror; "The Deep-Lord Awakens", which should remind any artist to never run out of red paint; and "Correlated Contents", in which a series of paintings yield horrifying revelations. These tales should appeal to lovers of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, pulp tales and weird fiction of yesteryear. Introduction by Robert M. Price, editor of the Fan Mythos series, of which this is the first book.

Fantasy

The stories in this book evoke a tracery of evil rarely rivaled in horror writing. They represent the whole evolving trajectory of such notions as Hastur, the King in Yellow, Carcosa, the Yellow Sign, the Black Stone, Yuggoth, and the Lake of Hali. A succession of writers from Ambrose Bierce to Ramsey Campbell and Karl Edward Wagner have explored and embellished these concepts so that the sum of the tales has become an evocative tapestry of hypnotic dread and terror, a mythology distinct from yet overlapping the Cthulhu Mythos. Here for the first time is a comprehensive collection of all the relevant tales.
