The late Lin Carter was a prolific writer and anthologist of horror and fantasy with over eighty titles to his credit. His tales of Mythos horror are loving tributes to H. P. Lovecraft's 'revision' tales and to August Derleth's stories of Hastur and the R'lyeh Text. This collection of Carter's Mythos tales includes all five Xothic Legend Cycle stories: - The Dweller in the Tomb - Out of the Ages - The Horror in the Gallery - The Thing in the Pit - The Winfield Heritance Filled with mind-bending, soul-warping terror, Carter taps into the eldritch horrors that Lovecraft brought into the world...

Ithaqua, the Cold Walker in the Waste, has roots deep in the folklore of the frozen north. He is Sasquatch, the Wendigo, the Wind-Walker. Here, gathered together in one place, is an entire cycle of stories abouth Ithaqua, from Algernon Blackwood's seminal "The Wendigo", to the brand new "Wrath of the Wind-Walker".

The stories in this book evoke a tracery of evil rarely rivaled in horror writing. They represent the whole evolving trajectory of such notions as Hastur, the King in Yellow, Carcosa, the Yellow Sign, the Black Stone, Yuggoth, and the Lake of Hali. A succession of writers from Ambrose Bierce to Ramsey Campbell and Karl Edward Wagner have explored and embellished these concepts so that the sum of the tales has become an evocative tapestry of hypnotic dread and terror, a mythology distinct from yet overlapping the Cthulhu Mythos. Here for the first time is a comprehensive collection of all the relevant tales.

The Complete Pegana contains the entire contents of Dunsany's first two collections, "The Gods of Pegana" and "Time and the Gods", as well as his final Pegana trilogy, "Beyond the Fields We Know".
