Re: Books You Will Never Read
Despite being a big fan of Lovecraft, I've only ever read one Cthulhu Mythos anthology, Arkham House's classic 1990 Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos: Golden Anniversary Anthology, which is in some ways really the only such book on the subject I've ever felt the need to read. None of the others really tempt me.
As a writer who occasionally dabbles in Weird Fiction, I do have a strange sense of pride that I've never had a story appear in any collection that has the word "Cthulhu" in the title. No diss to writers who do, I just have too much respect for Lovecraft to play in his sandbox (though every now and then I will at least name drop one of his fictional grimoires).
