Recent finds on eBay

Just picked up the 1st edition paperback of Lovecraft: A Biography by L. Sprague de Camp for $1.00 in VG/Fine condition - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200503839860 - it differs from the hardcover edition in that it is slightly abridged and does not include references, index, or bibliography.

Also picked up a copy of Cthulhu Calls fanzine - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360233022686 - from April 1976, edited by Terry L. Shorb, published by Northwest Community College for $10 in Fine condition. The fanzine has little to do with Lovecraft, but does feature SF and horror poetry, some prose fiction, and other material.

Welcome to Mythos Collecting

This site is an extension of Mythos Collector, the magazine for collectors of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, as published by Dark Tree Press.

My hope is to provide a bit more current information regarding collecting pop culture material related to H. P. Lovecraft and related authors.
