Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, edited by August Derleth and published by Arkham House in 1969, is considered the
first Cthulhu Mythos anthology. It contained two stories by Lovecraft, a number of reprints of pieces written by
members of Lovecraft's circle of correspondents, and several new tales written for the collection by a new generation
of Cthulhu Mythos writers. It was published in an edition of 4,024 copies.
Derleth prefaced the collection with "The Cthulhu Mythos", an outline of his (sometimes controversial) views on the
development and content of the Mythos. In this introduction, Derleth prematurely declared the genre to be dead--"for
certainly the Mythos as an inspiration for new fiction is hardly likely to afford readers with enough that is new and
sufficiently different in execution to create a continuing and growing demand".[1]
Lin Carter later wrote that Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos "marked the beginning of a new era in the history of the
Mythos for many reasons, and one of the most important was that it introduced a number of new writers in the
Mythos."[2]

The Disciples of Cthulhu was edited by Edward P. Berglund and published by DAW Books in 1976. Berglund later
described it as "the first professional, all-original, Cthulhu Mythos anthology".[3]
Perhaps responding to the introduction to Derleth's collection, Berglund wrote in his preface: "Whether or not there
is a market for the Cthulhu Mythos stories, established and amateur writers will continue to write them for their own
and their friends' amusement and enjoyment. It is inevitable that one or more readers of this volume will be
influenced into trying his hand at writing within the Cthulhu Mythos genre."
Contents
The contents are:
"Editor's Foreword" by Edward P. Berglund

"Introduction" by Robert Bloch
"The Fairground Horror" by Brian Lumley
"The Silence of Erika Zann" by James Wade
"All-Eye" by Bob Van Laerhoven
"The Tugging" by Ramsey Campbell
"Where Yidhra Walks" by Walter C. DeBill, Jr.
"The Feaster from Afar" by Joseph Payne Brennan
"Zoth-Ommog" by Lin Carter

"Darkness, My Name Is" by Eddy C. Bertin
When the collection was reprinted by Chaosium in 1996, the Carter and Brennan stories were replaced by "Dope
War of the Black Tong", a new Robert M. Price pastiche of Carter and Robert E. Howard, and "Glimpses" by A. A.
Attanasio, which was supposed to be published in the original Disciples but ended up in the Arkham House
anthology Nameless Places instead.

New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos was edited by Ramsey Campbell and published by Arkham House in 1980 in an
edition of 3,647 copies. In his introduction, Campbell noted that "[i]n recent years the Mythos at times has seemed in
danger of becoming conventionalized," despite the fact that "Lovecraft's intention and achievement was precisely to
avoid the predictability and resultant lack of terror which beset the conventional macabre fiction of his day."
Therefore, Campbell wrote, "in this anthology I have tended to favor less familiar treatments or uses of the
Mythos.... They contain few erudite occultists, decaying towns, or stylistic pastiches.... Indeed, one of our tales hints
at the ultimate event of the Mythos without ever referring to the traditional names."[4]
One story in the book is an expansion, by Martin S. Warnes, of Lovecraft's fragment "The Book".

Arkham House released a new edition of Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos in 1990, edited by James Turner with a
substantially different selection of stories, reflecting the editor's disdain for "Mythos pastiches in which eccentric
New England recluses utter the right incantations in the wrong books and are promptly eaten by a giant frog named
Cthulhu." It was released in an edition of 7,015 copies.
Turner eliminates some authors from the earlier edition (totalling four stories, those by Wade, Shea and two by
Lumley) --while still suggesting that "a few of the earliest pieces in this volume...now seem like pop-cultural kitsch."
The added seven stories, he writes, are from "the relative handful of successful works that have been influenced by
the Cthulhu Mythos...exemplifying the darkly enduring power of H. P. Lovecraft over a disparate group of writers
who have made their own inimitable contributions to the Mythos."[5]

Tales of the Lovecraft Mythos was edited by Robert M. Price and published by Fedogan & Bremer in 1992. In an
introduction, Price provides a "sketch of the Lovecraft Mythos and its evolution into the Cthulhu Mythos"--raising a
defense of August Derleth's interpretation of the Mythos along the way. Price writes that his intent in making
selections was to assemble "an alternate version" of Derleth's Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, though limited in scope
to the writers of the pulp era. He included several pieces long out of print or reprinted only in obscure fanzines, and
tried to focus on "stories in which certain important Mythos names or items are either first mentioned or most fully
explained by the author who created them".[6]

The Starry Wisdom: A Tribute to H. P. Lovecraft was edited by D. M. Mitchell and published by Creation Books in
1994. Declaring that "Lovecraft has suffered much at the hands of unmindful critics and even more from uninspired
and talentless imitators," Mitchell declares that the collection's goal is "to dig deeper, to bypass the superficial and
access the subterranean channels of archetype and inspiration with which Lovecraft was connected.... [Lovecraft]
crafted morbid and disturbing allegories of social and biological upheaval--cryptically prophetic and spiritually
exploratory--this latent content of his work now needs excavating."[8]
Some of the stories in the collectionnotably those by Burroughs and Ballardwere not inspired by Lovecraft, but
were seen by Mitchell as sharing his "visions of cosmic alienation". In those stories that make direct references to the
Cthulhu Mythos, they are "used only in passing--in the same informal way in which Lovecraft himself intended."[9]

Cthulhu 2000: A Lovecraftian Anthology was edited by Jim Turner and published by Arkham House in 1995 in an
edition of 4,927 copies. As in his earlier collection, Turner criticizes the "latter-day Mythos pastiche" as simply "a
banal modern horror story, preceded by the inevitable Necronomicon epigraph and indiscriminately interspersed with
sesquipedalian deities, ichor-oozing tentacles, sundry eldritch abominations, and then the whole sorry mess rounded
off with a cachinnating chorus of "I! I!"-chanting frogs." He declares that "the works collected in the present
volume are not great Lovecraft stories; they rather are great stories in some way inspired by Lovecraft."[10]

The New Lovecraft Circle was edited by Robert M. Price and published by Fedogan & Bremer in 1996 in an edition
of 2,000 copies. Presenting the book as a sequel to Tales of the Lovecraft Mythos, which focused on the circle of
writers around Lovecraft that were collected in the first half of Derleth's Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Price declares

that "the present collection means to ape the second half, to commemorate that dawn of a new era of Mythos fiction."
He describes the contents as "little known and seldom seen stories by most of the seven members of the New
Lovecraft Circle numbered by Lin Carter and by other, more recent adepts as well, for the tradition grows. The cult
will not be stamped out."[11]

The Children of Cthulhu, published by Ballantine Books in 2002, was edited by John Pelan and Benjamin Adams.
In the introduction, the editors wrote:
For this collection, we asked authors to break past the '[if it ain't broke,] don't fix it' mentality and bring
Lovecraft's original concepts kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century.... The stories in this
collection range from the historical to the futuristic. What they share is each writer's reaction to the vision of
H. P. Lovecraft and an affinity for his core concepts.:[12]
All the stories are original to the volume with the exception of Poppy Z. Brite's "Are You Loathsome Tonight?"
which originally appeared in her 1998 collection of the same name.
