Notes
The Xothic Legend Cycle, a collection of Cthulhu Mythos short fiction and poetry by Lin Carter.

The contents are listed below and are by Lin Carter unless noted otherwise:

• Xothic Romance: Terrors Out of Time – a foreword by Robert M. Price
• The Red Offering
• The Dweller in the Tomb
• The Thing in the Pit
• Out of the Ages
• The Horror in the Gallery
• The Winfield Heritance
• Perchance to Dream
• Strange Manuscript Found in the Vermont Woods
• Dreams from R'lyeh – a collection of 31 poems
• Something in the Moonlight
• The Fishers from Outside
• Behind the Mask
• The Strange Doom of Enos Harker – with Robert M. Price
• The Soul of the Devil-Bought – by Robert M. Price
• The Bell in the Tower – by H.P. Lovecraft

Carter's tales of Mythos horror are loving tributes to H.P. Lovecraft's "revision" tales and to August Derleth's stories of Hastur and the R'lyefi Text. Most of these stories were published years ago in various anthologies and fanzines, and have been unavailable for some time. This is the first collection of Carter's Mythos tales; it includes his intended novel, The Terror Out of Time.

"Let it be said now and in this place, once and for all, that the matter which I have named 'the Xothic legend-cycle' – which is to say, the myth-sequence of the Xothic Triad (Ghatanothoa, Ythogtha, and Zoth-Ommog) – has at its secret core a chaotic and cosmic blasphemy so appalling in its ultimate depravity and in the magnitude of its bearings upon human and prehuman evolution as to stun even the detached and dispassionate scholar."
-Lin Carter, "The Thing in the Pit"
