About Rise of Cthulhu

About the author

When I first discovered HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, decades ago, I wondered how it all came to be. I studied writing in college and then became a librarian for 30 years. After I retired, I decided it was time to write that history. I had amassed a good-sized collection of Mythos related material and, fortunately, was able to gain access to even more. It has taken years of reading, researching, and then writing that history from when H. P. Lovecraft wrote "The Call of Cthulhu" through the next 100 years.

About the book

First off, the book is not yet published. Sorry! I expect that will change down the road. In the meantime, I will post excerpts, articles, updates, and I will try to answer any questions about the Mythos.
