The sparse seeds sown in those early stories have grown into an enduring yet relatively little-known fictional mythology in the subsequent hundred years, where quiet horror can meet twisted romance, terrible gods from an alien dimension spin their unfathomable schemes via the minds of mortals, and authors from a variety of backgrounds have pushed the settings and characters into all sorts of interesting and diverse directions.
