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.
