Howard Phillips Lovecraft

The Cthulhu Mythos was H.P. Lovecraft's greatest contribution to supernatural literature. This anthology includes 23 of his weirdest tales, including 'The Call of Cthulhu', 'The Colour Out of Space', 'The Dunwich Horror', and 'The Shadow Out of Time'. It also features six collaborative 'revisions' that expand the scope of Lovecraft's dark mythology, an introduction by Lovecraft scholar, S.T. Joshi, and a 16 x 20 inch frameable poster by award-winning cover artist, John Coulthart.

The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tales

Because I'm a very silly person, I decided to read the Lovecraft compendium prior to diving into more contemporary works based on the Cthulhu mythos. I discovered that Lovecraft's strong suit is in world building and decidedly not in the narrative craft. As it turns out, you can jump into the derivative works without suffering anything from the horse's mouth in this case. In fact, it might save you some moments of anguish and cringe to skip the original lore.
