The Children of Cthulhu | Del Ray/Ballantine (2002) [Anthology]

The Children of Cthulhu: Chilling New Tales Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft is an anthology of Lovecraftian horror edited by Benjamin Adams and John Pelan, and published by Del Ray/Ballantine in 2002.

In their introduction, the editors say they were not looking for writers who would "merely throw a few Lovecraftian beasties and the Necronomicon into their tales," but rather for writers with an affinity for Lovecraft's "terrifying vision of an indifferent and chaotic universe populated by beings that were, in their total alienness, completely inconceivable by mere humans."
