The Call of Cthulhu Fiction Collection from Chaosium

A Listmania! list by Die Morgenröte (NYC)
The list author says: "In 1993 Chaosium Inc. began publishing a series of books dedicated to the Mythos creation of H.P. Lovecraft. The intention was to have each book focus 'on a single entity or concept significant to the Lovecraft circle of writers, [presenting] the terrifying tales that define it.' This included not just tales by the original circle from the early 20th century Pulp Magazine era, but later writers who continued and further developed the tradition. As the series grew the concept expanded to present even earlier authors and 'weird works', tales that are believed by scholars to be major influences on the creation of the Cthulhu Mythos and the writings of those who became involved with it.

This list presents the titles that are currently in the series. They appear in the order they were originally released by the publisher. Chaosium is presently in the process of reprinting the series, so some of the versions now becoming available are second printing and revised editions. This is part of the reason why you'll see reviews dating back years before the current versions listed release, and why some the earlier volumes are now available as "pre-orders."

If you are interested in collecting older editions/printings the Amazon Marketplace has many offers, just read through the descriptions to make sure what version is really being offered. Remember, First Edition doesn't always mean First Pressing. That's what those descending numbers - "10 9 8 7 6..." - that appear on the copyright pages of books define. The lowest number listed is Edition's Pressing. The first copyright date will be that of the original release, while the second is that of the current printing's.

I have no idea how "collectible" this series will or will not be. My primary intention in making this list is to help those interested in getting the entire series. After that its to provide general printing information."
