The Cthulhu Cycle (Cthulhu Cycle Book #11)
editor
Chaosium trade paper
A nice place to start if you're new to this whole Cthulhu business.
"Millions of years ago, when the stars were right, Cthulhu ruled from his black house in R'lyeh.
When the stars changed, R'lyeh sank beneath the waves, and Cthulhu was cast into a deathless sleep,
eternally dreaming. He has used those dreams to communicate with his believers, from prehistoric
times through to the present day. Cthulhu has been, is, and always will be. Now the stars may once
more be right, and Cthulhu may rise from his millennial sleep and reassert his rightful rulership of the Earth.
Thirteen stories trace Cthulhu and his influence through the centuries. General introduction and individual
story introductions by the series editor."

Chaosium trade paper
The Necronomicon, the mythical magic tome which was said to reveal many of the dark secrets of the occult,
pops up time and again in much of Lovecraft's work, as well as in the stories of his followers. This volume
collects many of the stories devoted to that infamous volume. "Even today, after attempts over
the centuries to destroy any and all copies in any language, some few copies still exist, secreted away.
Within this book you will find stories about the Necronomicon, different versions of the Necronomicon,
and two essays on the blasphemous tome. Now you too may learn the true lore of Abdul Alhazred."
