About meThe (fictional) Head Librarian of Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts.

About my libraryA virtual library of the Cthulhu Mythos and Lovecraftiana, along with weird fiction from HPL's predecessors*, contemporaries** and successors***.

The Miskatonic Library regrets that it does not hold a copy of every work in this catalogue.
Untagged volumes should be treated with caution until the librarian is able to determine their relation to Lovecraft or the Cthulhu Mythos.

Please feel free to suggest any corrections or additions.

*Poe, Blackwood, Dunsany, etc.
**Howard, Smith, Derleth, etc.
***Campbell, Lumley, etc.

========================================...
*I make no particular claim to the quality of some of the fiction represented here…

* Yes, I am aware of the Simon Necronomicon and its related works. No, I won't be adding it to this catalogue. It claims to be "real", and the (few) Cthulhu Mythos references seem to be rather forced in.

* The books in this collection which I actually own can be found here.

*I have been unable to ascertain the Mythos relevance of the books tagged Content?

*For more information on the books tagged Rainfall Chapbook see here. Many of them are clearly Lovecraftian/Cthulhu Mythos in nature, but some of them appear to be of a more general pulp fiction genre. (Yes, I still have a few to list in this category)

* A list of Cthulhu Mythos related board and card games can be found at my BoardGameGeek profile. Role Playing Games are included in this LT catalogue.

Can You Imagine?
by Mary Oliver

For example, what the trees do
not only in lightning storms
or the watery dark of a summer's night
or under the white nets of winter
but now, and now, and now - whenever
we're not looking. Surely you can't imagine
they don't dance, from the root up, wishing
to travel a little, not cramped so much as wanting
a better view, or more sun, or just as avidly
more shade - surely you can't imagine they just
stand there loving every
minute of it, the birds or the emptiness, the dark rings
of the years slowly and without a sound
thickening, and nothing different unless the wind,
and then only in its own mood, comes
to visit, surely you can't imagine
patience, and happiness, like that.
The Cthulhu Mythos is a way of life for me! Love to be your friend!

I've got 60 books tagged as being part of the Cthulhu Mythos in some form and we only match on 42, so there may be up to 18 additional books you could add to your catalog.
Wow! I am honored to be catalogued in your library.
