Acolytes of Cthulhu is an anthology of Cthulhu Mythos stories edited by Robert M. Price. It was published by Fedogan & Bremer in 2001 in an edition of 2,500 copies. Many of the stories originally appeared in the magazines Weird Tales, Unusual Stories, The Acolyte, Stirring Science Stories, Fantastic, Magazine of Horror, Weird Terror Tales, Supernatural Stories, Atlantic Monthly, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Lovecraftian Ramblings, The Nectotic Scroll, Eldritch Tales, Tales of Lovecraftian Horror and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
A 2014 reprint edition by Titan omitted the story "Black Noon" by Eddy, which was an unfinished 1969 story based on a long hike that Eddy and Lovecraft had actually undertaken in the early 1920s, in search of a remote and lore-hunted 'Dark Swamp' area of New England.
