A Mountain Walked - Want It All

A Mountain Walked

H. P. Lovecraft wrote â€œThe Call of Cthulhuâ€ in 1926, initiating the Cthulhu Mythos, one of the most widely imitated shared-world universes in weird fiction. Even in his lifetime, many other writers added to the Mythos, and after his death hundreds if not thousands of authors of weird, fantasy, and science fiction have added their distinctive elaborations on Lovecraftâ€™s basic themes and ideas.

This volume features some of the best Cthulhu Mythos writing over the past century. Beginning with such rare but classic stories as Mearle Proutâ€™s â€œThe House of the Wormâ€ and Robert Barbour Johnsonâ€™s â€œFar Below,â€ from the pages of Weird Tales, the anthology moves on to James Wadeâ€™s novella â€œThe Deep Onesâ€ and Ramsey Campbellâ€™s refreshing riff on the â€œforbidden bookâ€ motif, â€œThe Franklyn Paragraphs.â€ Acclaimed stories by T. E. D. Klein, Thomas Ligotti, Neil Gaiman, and W. H. Pugmire are also included.

The book includes an array of original stories by such leading authors of Lovecraftian fiction as CaitlÃn R. Kiernan, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, and Michael Shea. Gemma Files contributes a richly textured novella, while Jonathan Thomas offers a story full of his distinctive melding of horror and satire.

A Mountain Walked is chock-full of stories old and new that highlight the endless variations that can be played on H. P. Lovecraftâ€™s signature creation.
