A Mountain Walked: Great Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Edited by S. T. Joshi.
A Mountain Walked is an oversize anthology with almost 700
pages. S.T. Joshi has selected the best of the reprinted Cthulhu Mythos
stories and combined them with over a dozen new works written just for
this anthology. This book has over 25 stories, including new stories by Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Donald Tyson, Cody Goodfellow, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Jonathan Thomas, Laird Barron, Michael Shea, Patrick
McGrath, Mark Samuels, Gemma Files, and others. The book also has new
artwork by David Ho, John Kenn Mortensen, Drazen Kozjan, Denis Tiani,
and Thomas Ott.
The edition is limited to 500 copies for sale. Each copy is signed by
Thomas Ligotti, T.E.D. Klein, Laird Barron, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and many others. The signature pages are signed by 25 people and went halfway
around the world for signatures. The book is 692 pages. There are
several pages of full color artwork, too.
The book is oversize as well, measuring over 7 × 11 inches tall. The
book comes in its own clothbound slipcase and has a stunning full color
dustjacket by David Ho and the usual goodies: image on the front board,
ribbon marker, and head and tail bands in a gorgeous cloth bound
Smyth-sewn book. This landmark anthology will surely be known as a
classic in its field. Although most of the living contributors signed
the book, Michael Shea passed on before the pages reached him. Writers
who did not sign the book include Neil Gaiman, T.C. Boyle, and Mark Samuels.
