The information in this book is great for ... - This is a necessary resource for anyone serious about the Cthulhu Mythos. Whether you are a writer, gamer or an enthusiast of HP Lovecraft and other horrors, this book is highly recommended. The information in this book is great for creating plot hooks, or what stories to search for to learn more about a specific topic for further exploration. Need to find out more about Ubbo-Sathla to write a time travel story about wizards? Look up Ubbo-Sathla, find out that Clark Ashton Smith wrote Ubbo-Sathla, and that god is mentioned in the Book of Eibon. You'll find an appendices about the Necronomicon. More importantly Dan Harms included a guide on how to handle and use others intellectual property from a non-legalistic standpoint, but more from a standpoint of being ethically creative while respecting to the continuity. Somewhere in storage I have the second edition of this book, but I have a digital copy on my iPhone, laptop and desktop computer. For my podcast I find this to be a great resource. Unfortunately I have occasionally ran across instances where Mr. Harms references a story that is no longer in print and hard to find(even after contacting the author or the story). That would be my only gripe. Otherwise this is wonderful, also I am happy that it is a book that covers literature as well as RPG source material due to the fact that the two have become intertwined in the last 30+ years. I am also thankful that the book doesn't rely on any goofy lovecraftian tricks, spooky typefaces or faux-aged paper. It's nice to have some people take this space monster business seriously. Review: a really handy Lovecraftian reference resource - I'm glad I got this book. It's a straight-up reference book, and that includes annotations so you know which author(s) used whatever beast, location, etc. I really appreciated that because that means I get to read novels, short stories, and novellas I'd not already ready or in many cases even known about. The only thing I'd like for the book to have included was some illustrations, and that's a small quibble. -- For the money, this book's a really good one to have on your horror shelf. Recommended. 9/10 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #964,331 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #97 in Science Fiction & Fantasy Encyclopedias #197 in Literature Encyclopedias #278 in Literary History & Criticism Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (499) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.8 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 1934501050 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1934501054 | | Item Weight | 1.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 402 pages | | Publication date | August 1, 2008 | | Publisher | Elder Signs Press | ## Images ![The Cthulhu Mythos Encyclopedia - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DCDxwjYGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this book is highly recommended.

Recommended. 9/10 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HPL Fan? You NEED this book. *by A***N on November 26, 2013* comprehensive and complete. I love this reference! If you're a HPL fan, you need this reference. If you'ever gotten a headache trying to remember what story(ies) had a certain thing/god/item/ritual/whatever in it, this is for you. If you're trying to put together a good idea of exactly what something is, this book has it. It will not take the place of reading a story, but it can help you remember which stories you want to read. It does go beyong just HPL, and it makes notice of when the information comes from Derleth or someone else. It is not exhaustive in going into every single author who has written in the Mythos, but that's good, because discriminating carefully avoids the need to catalog every internet fanfic ever written. The author does not dwell on a lot of the HPL/Derleth controversies - which is also good, because that really should be a separate text - think ST Joshi if you're looking for that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/219773-the-cthulhu-mythos-encyclopedia](https://www.desertcart.co/products/219773-the-cthulhu-mythos-encyclopedia) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
