Publication history

Shannon Appelcline detailed how after the publication of the fourth edition of Call of Cthulhu, "[Keith] Herber spearheaded a very successful set of Lovecraftian setting books beginning with Arkham Unveiled (1990). The series, which detailed the locales of 'Lovecraft Country,' would run through Escape from Innsmouth (1992) — though they've been reprinted many times since in many different forms." [3] : 269
