The second book, Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (Vol 1) with stories by Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch, J. Vernon Shea, Frank Belknap Long, to name a few; was part of a two volume anthology; edited by August Derleth and was also released in 1971, with mind bending covers by Victor Valla. The final book in this horror triad is The Mask of Cthulhu; which, for all intensive purposes, represents a postscript in tribute to the creative imagination of H.P. Lovecraft.
