<p>Robert M. Price is well known to fans of H.P Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. He is the founder of Crypt of Cthulhu as well as editor of numerous Cthulhu Mythos anthologies. Blasphemies & Revelations collects the early fiction of Robert M. Price. These stories first appeared in small press magazines including Nyctalops, Eldritch Tales, Vollmond, and FantasyBook. For the most part, they are sequels to many of H.P. Lovecraft's major tales. Price eschewsthe frequent sins of Lovecraft pasticheurs. He adds no monstrous gods to the Cthulhu Mythospantheon, nor any new eldritch grimoires to the Lovecraftian shelf. But his stories share withLovecraft an idiom of scholarly prose, which comes naturally to Price because of his academiccareer as a biblical scholar, an advantage few Lovecraftian writers can boast. Stories include"Saucers from Yaddith," "The Deprogrammer," "Wilbur Whateley Waiting," "A ThousandYoung," "The Devil's Steps," "The Beard of Byatis," and "Black Eons."</p>

<p>The Exham Cycle is the latest volume in Robert M. Price's long-running series of weird fiction anthologies (begun by Chaosium in 1993), each one collecting stories that inspired a major tale by H.P. Lovecraft, plus subsequent tales by other writers inspired by that Lovecraft yarn. This time the focus is on HPL's classic tale "The Rats in the Walls." An introductory essay begins the book, and each tale thereafter starts with its own mini-essay aiming to enhance the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the text. We boast the inclusion of important background material by James George Frazer and Sabine Baring-Gould, familiar to Lovecraft but not to many of today's readers, plus great tales by Fiona Macleod, Irvin S. Cobb, Michael Harrison, Edgar Allen Poe, Peter H. Cannon, Robert M. Price, and that old rat catcher himself, H.P. Lovecraft. A special treat is the hilarious appearance of "The Rats in the Walls" from the obscure 1950s men's magazine Zest. "The Rats in the Walls" derives its great power from the almost Jungian plumbing of the depths of heredity and heritage, as De la Poer, seeking to reconnect with his ancestry, unwittingly rediscovers cannibalism, blasphemy, and unspeakable perversion. His tragedy shows how the greatest horror may lurk deep inside us and is better left undisturbed in its sleep. Call it your Inner Azathoth-and start piping!</p>
