"The mythical cycle of Cthulhu is expanded and enriched in this one-volume edition of tales.".

"Conjuring myth out of horror, Derleth maps perilous journeys into an arcane world from a legend-haunted Arkham, Massachusetts - there the eldritch deity Yog-Sothoth lurks in a New England wood and the bodiless Lloigor breaks an occult contract to horrifying effect; there Dr. Laban Shrewsbury begins his probe into the unspeakable secrets of the Ancient One - to the drowned city of R'lyeh, where Cthulhu waits, dreaming."--BOOK JACKET.
