As successor to the now out-of-print New Tales of Cthulhu Mythos, this new anthology becomes the most celebrated assemblage of professional authors ever to appear under Lovecraftian auspices. Incorporating the three finest stories from the earlier volume, "Cthulhu 2000" reprints an additional fifteen works, not all of them Mythos tales, but the aggregate contents exemplifying the continuing influence of H.P. Lovecraft into the twenty-first century: "The Barrens" by F. Paul Wilson, "Pickman's Modem" by Lawrence Watt-Evans, "Shaft Number 247" by Basil Copper, "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood" by Poppy Z. Brite, "The Adder" by Fred Chappell, "Fat Face" by Michael Shea, "The Big Fish" by Kim Newman, " "I Have Vacantly Crumpled It Into My Pocket...But by God, Eliot, It Was A Photograph From Life!'" by Joanna Russ, "H.P.L" by Gahan Wilson, "The Unthinkable" by Bruce Sterling, "Black Man with a Horn" by T.E.D. Klein, "Love's Eldritch Ichor" by Esther M. Friesner, "The Last Feast of Harlequin" by Thomas Ligotti, "The Shadow on the Doorstep" by James P. Blaylock, "Lord of the Land" by Gene Wolfe, "The Faces at Pine Dunes" by Ramsey Campbell, "On The Slab" by Harlan Ellison, and "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai" by Roger Zelazny.
