Lakeland: Miskatonic River Press, 2011. Trade paperback, Fine,. Lakeland: Miskatonic River Press:, 2011. Trade paperback, Fine, 269 pp.<br/> "The Mythos has become one of the most imitated tropes in horror literature, and hundreds of writers have made their own extrapolations on it. But many misconceptions remain about the Cthulhu Mythos. Its very name was not invented by Lovecraft, but by his disciple August Derleth. Derleth altered the Mythos in significant ways, and it is only recently that scholars and writers have returned to the purity of Lovecraft's own vision. This collection of essays prints many of the seminal essays on the Cthulhu Mythos, ranging from pioneering articles by Richard L. Tierney and Dirk W. Mosig that strip away Derleth's misconceptions about Lovecraft's pseudomythology, to penetrating studies by Robert M. Price, Will Murray, Steven J. Mariconda, and others probing key elements of the Mythos-its use of gods, books, and topography; the influences that Lovecraft absorbed in fashioning it; and its wide dissemination by generations of later writers. All told, this book provides an invaluable guide to Lovecraft's most intriguing but most misunderstood creation."
