Correlated Contents: Six Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos

Six tales of the Cthulhu Mythos by James Ambuehl, featuring his own Lu-Kthu Mythos, including "Sculpture", in which a hideus creature is embodied with an even more hideous life; "The Snake Farm", a tale of hidden horrors at a tourist trap; "The Stalker in the Snow", a Cthulhu Mythos werewolf tale; "The Terror of Toad Lake", where a backwoods marsh is home to a loathsome horror; "The Deep-Lord Awakens", which should remind any artist to never run out of red paint; and "Correlated Contents", in which a series of paintings yield horrifying revelations. These tales should appeal to lovers of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, pulp tales and weird fiction of yesteryear. Introduction by Robert M. Price, editor of the Fan Mythos series, of which this is the first book.

About the Author

Born in 1961, James Ambuehl has lived in the states of Wisconsin, then later Minnesota, all his life. The author of some nearly 60 Cthulhu Mythos stories, and nearly again that number of poems, James' biggest contribution to that ever-growing tapestry created by Lovecraft and shaped by Derleth is his own sub-pantheon, the Lu-Kthu Mythos, centering around such made-up milleus as the sinister town of Braving and the primal island-continent of Altuas - most of which are shown to good effect in this very collection. James has had another previous collection published, From Between the Star Spaces, and has had stories appear in such publications as Crypt of Cthulhu, Eldritch Tales, Cthulhu Codex, Midnight Shambler, as well as in the premiere Mythos Books publication Mythos Tales and Others #1. He has also co-edited and co-published with Ron Shiflet a Clark Ashton Smith tribute volume entitled The Sorceror's Apprentices. Much of the author's work can also be found on the Internet, in various online Cthulhu Mythos magazines. Lately, James has turned to another main interest of his besides the Cthulhu Mythos, the long-running British science-fiction series Doctor Who. He has began a Doctor Who novel, a novel in the Cthulhu Mythos, involving the Third Doctor and the paramilitary organization known as UNIT.
