Re: Cthulhu/Lovecraft Mythos

I'll have to pick this one up as well. I have read a few of those tales, including Fane of the Black Pharoah which is a great read.

I recently picked up a similar compilation, The Book of Cthulhu II. So far I've only read "Sticks," by Karl Wagner, and "Hand of Glory," by Laird Baron and both were excellent.

Re: Cthulhu/Lovecraft Mythos

Ha, you know it's going to be good when every short story title included sounds like the name of an adventure module
