Overview: Frank Belknap Long (April 27, 1901 – January 3, 1994) was a prolific American writer of horror fiction, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, Gothic romance, comic books, and non-fiction. Though his writing career spanned seven decades, he is best known for his horror and science fiction short stories, including early contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos.
The Mythos and Horror Stories anthology is a collection of Long’s works that is considered to be part of the Mythos. The Cthulhu Mythos is a shared fictional universe, based on the work of American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft was a close friend and mentor to Long, who became a member of a group of fantasy writers referred to as the “Lovecraft Circle.”
The term Cthulhu Mythos was first coined by August Derleth, a contemporary correspondent of Lovecraft, who used the name of the creature Cthulhu — a central figure in Lovecraft literature and the focus of Lovecraft’s short story “The Call of Cthulhu” (first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928) — to identify the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors. Authors writing in the Lovecraftian milieu use elements of the Mythos in an ongoing expansion of the fictional universe.
