Hard Core Mythos fan, with caps, yes. I play CoC weekly since 2014. I've read all of Lovecraft's work, all of Clark Ashton Smith's and Robert W. Chambers' stuff, and even all of Derleth's stuff (ugh); and I'm going to be starting Masks of Nyarlathotep (the big one!) in January with my droogs.

I'd have to say that my favorite is probably The Colour Out of Space for pure horror (radiation poisoning is a squick button of mine), Dreams in the Witch House for an acid trip, Dream-Quest for adventure, Charles Dexter Ward or Shadow Over Innsmouth for mystery/thriller, and Rats in the Walls or Mountains of Madness for balanced pulp. I also liked Shunned House, partly because I read it while suffering from actual fungal pneumonia lol. And Cats of Ulthar because I love my little princess and she will probably eat my body should I die unexpectedly.

The Yellow Mythos is everything deriving from Robert W. Chambers' "The King in Yellow" cycle. This includes such things as True Detective. The Mythos is diverse, but it centers around Hastur, who is a Great Old One like Cthulhu.

Thanks for the hardcover, I promise I won't let B'Elanna the Destructor wreck it!
