Cthulhu Mythos Vol. 3

Continuations of Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu Myths” appeared even during his lifetime. Many authors took part in this, including Frank Belknap Long, Robert Irvin Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, Henry Kuttner... Lovecraft himself didn’t mind.

After Lovecraft’s work was popularized by August Derleth, other writers took up the cause—Ramsey Campbell, Brian Lumley, Colin Wilson, Lin Carter, Neil Gaiman... A large number of thematic anthologies appeared.

And even to this day, there seems to be no end to imitations and continuations of the “Cthulhu Myths”...

In this release, there are two stories and a novel:

Dark Divinity
Two random passengers forcibly invade a train compartment where four rather strange people are traveling. The compartment’s owners don’t protest against the invasion, but warn that they belong to a small religious sect and that they now need to perform a religious rite.

Nightmare at the Fair
At a traveling fair with rides there’s a strange pavilion with a loud name: “The Tomb of Great Ancient Ones.” One evening, a strange visitor wandered in—only to turn out that he knows more about the exhibits than the attraction’s owner does.

Diggers of the Earth (novel)
Were humans indeed the first intelligent beings who became the rulers of this world? Before a human appeared from primordial jungles, other creatures—perhaps—were already dominating this planet and communicating with the stars. Maybe for now they are simply lying in wait?
