The Hastur Cycle by Robert M. Price

Description: The stories in this book evoke a tracery of evil rarely rivaled in horror writing. They represent the whole evolving trajectory pf 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.

Contains: "Haita the Shepherd" and "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" by Ambrose Bierce, "The Repairer of Reputations" and "The Yellow Sign" by Robert W. Chambers, "The River of Night's Dreaming" by Karl Edward Wagner, "More Light" by James Blish, "The Novel of the Black Seal" by Arthur Machen, "The Whisperer in Darkness" by H. P. Lovecraft, "Documents in the Case of Elizabeth Akeley" by Richard A. Lupoff, "The Mine on Yuggoth" by Ramsey Campbell, "Planetfall on Yuggoth" by James Wade, "The Return of Hastur" by August Derleth, and "Tatters of the King" by Lin Carter.
