| Re: Which Stories Fit Into The Mythos...?
There are several other writers who write one or two or more their share of the so-called "Cthulhu Mythos". I've read somewhere Lovecraft himself called most of his stories "Cthulhu Cycles" which made a lot more sense than Derleth's. Here are some outside the Lovecraft circle: Ramsey Campbell Brian Lumley Fritz Leiber Manly Wade Wellman Karl Edward Wagner David Drake Galad Elflandsson Fred Chappell Thomas Ligotti Colin Wilson Harlan Ellison Neal Gaiman Paul Finch Joseph Payne Brennan Lin Carter (although his poetry was mediocre IMHO.) From the Lovecraft Circle: Frank Belknap Long Robert Bloch August Derleth Donald Wandrei Henry Kuttner Robert E. Howard Clark Ashton Smith Influences on Lovecraft: Robert W. Chambers William Hope Hodgson Algernon Blackwood M.R. James Arthur Machen Lord Dunsany Erckman & Chatrian J.S. LeFanu Sorry about adding a little too much. Couldn't resist.  |
